Michael Reagan to Trump: Stop Using My Father While ‘Trashing What He Believed In’
Breitbart ^ | 08/19/2015 | Pam Key

Posted on 08/19/2015 9:44:59 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Tuesday evening on NewsMax TV’s “Newsmax Prime,” Michael Reagan, son of former President Ronald Reagan, criticized Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for invoking his father’s name while on the campaign trail.

The younger Reagan said, “If my dad were alive, what he’d be saying is this: ‘Well, there they go.’ It’s amazing how many of these people, including Donald Trump now, dropping my father’s name to try and wrap them in the mantle of Ronald Reagan. Let’s be honest, never going to happen with Donald Trump.”

“These people looking to wrap themselves in the mantle of Ronald Reagan are doing a disservice to themselves and a disservice to my father,” he said. “Wrap yourself in your own mantle, tell us who you are.”

“Trump thought President Reagan was an empty suit and Bush43 was evil. Yet he praised Obama and hoped he’d be a great potus. LOL Trump is a clown.”

But.. but.. that was because “good business!” You’re just a GOP-e Yeb supporter! /sarc

No he didn't turn liberal, but he definitely is in the establishment camp:

Michael should be talking to Obama who has used R.R.’s name numerous times over the last 7 years.

Let’s not forget that it was under Ronald Reagan that we had the last all-encompassing amnesty passed — 1987.

Not to mention that thanks to RR, a machine gun that could be had for $1,600 in 1985 will cost $16,000 today. And that a lowly peon such as myself is forbidden by law from purchasing a full auto that was manufactured after 1986. RR must have had a collection of machine guns he wanted to sell.

Michael is actually a conservative, and has been the only one who has defended his (adoptive) father. Ronnie Jr. is a completely liberal.

Stop calling Reagan your father when he was your stepfather and you trashed what he believed in...

Michael Reagan: Shut Up Tea Party, Your Candidates Are Kooks April 10, 2014
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3143390/posts

The Tea Party zealots who haven’t learned from their mistakes in 2010 and 2012 are trying their best to screw up the GOP’s chances to win the Senate this fall. Where does the Tea Party find these people to run in primaries? Most important, why do they offer them up as legitimate Republican candidates? "The Tea Party bosses have been listening to too much talk radio. They seem to think that what makes a good Republican candidate is someone who sounds like a talk radio host. But talk radio is all about bombast and attracting callers, not about winning elections. If Republicans are going to win general elections in 2014 and beyond, we’ve got to put up principled conservative candidates who sound like senators, congressmen, and governors — not kooks." - Mike Reagan

Why are you saying Michael Reagan is Ronald Reagan's step son? He is is his son, adopted by Reagan and his first wife, Jane Wyman.

Adopted children aren't step children.

RE: Michael stopped being a credible voice for his stepdad years ago.

Did he suddenly turn liberal like his brother Ron or something?

Yes as we hve learned from the trumpeters anyone who dare disagree with the Donald is not credible or stupid or any other derogatory name possible. Soon there wont be anyone left but Trump who has a legitimate opinion.

Incoherent rabble-rousing is, and Ronald Reagan, by contrast, was an excellent, reasoned and even witty speaker.

Nice how you accuse a huge chunk of conservatives as falling in love with "incoherent rabble-rousing." I take it you're an Amnesty pimp?
