Reagan’s Son: Trump’s Base Would Pick Putin Over Any Democrat As U.S. President
The Huffington Post ^ | July 27, 2018 | Mary Papenfuss

“The most important thing to them is that Trump seems to hate the same people they hate,” Ron Reagan says.

The son of former President Ronald Reagan believes Donald Trump’s political base is so consumed by hatred for the Democrats that they would vote for Vladimir Putin to be America’s president instead of virtually any member of that party.

“They really aren’t in touch with reality. The most important thing to them [is that Trump] seems to hate the same people that they hate,” Ron Reagan told Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s “Hardball” on Thursday. “That’s the real Trump derangement syndrome.”

On the other hand, they like the people Trump likes, Reagan said. Russian President Putin’s popularity is rising, he noted.

“If it was left just up to Trump’s base, they would elect Vladimir Putin as president of the United States over virtually anybody with a D after their name,” he added. “If Trump seems to love Putin, they’ll love Putin, too.”

A revved-up Matthews groused that if President Barack Obama had committed an antic like one of Trump’s, he “would have been keelhauled.”(continued)

Your sentence. What a visual. No no no. How do I get the image of nancy Reagan climbing onto the late Krautie’s wheelchair out of my brain?

The irony of Ron’s statement is he means to ridicule republicans but ends up illustrating how removed from mainstream reality democrats are.

RR Jr.: "My father worked hard to impress upon his children the value of kindness."

WFB Jr: "If he did, he was manifestly unsuccessful."

I really wish I had watched that interview. Darn!

Ron Reagan hated his own dad’s politics, so pardon me if I completely dismiss that child’s rantings as utterly insignificant.

Actually if I had to choose between a Democrat and a Russian my choice would be Yuri Andropov probably the smartest and most cunning head of spy organization ever.

“Had I been in a class with a black named Obama I’d recall the guy/girl.”

Absolutely! 99.99999% of us remember blacks we were in school together, the military or whatever.

Nothing like a brother or sister, who grew up with a sibling to tell us the truth re that sibling.

Good to see that President Trump has distracted Twinkletoes from fellating flaming syph-ridden homos for a few moments...

I can see The Gipper in a trooper uniform, slapping Ron Jr. upside the head and telling him, “When we get home, I’m gonna slap your Momma because there ain’t no way you came from my loins....”

Ronald Reagan did not fail as a father. His son Michael took a VERY different path from Ronnie. Every family has winners and losers.
