Ronald Reagan’s Son: My Dad Wouldn’t Support Trump

Posted on 06/08/2016 7:24:52 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Monday saw many of Donald Trump's fellow Republicans express their displeasure at his comments about Judge Gonzalo Curiel, whom Trump says can't make an impartial ruling in a lawsuit involving Trump University because of his Mexican heritage. Newt Gingrich called his attacks "inexcusable," and Paul Ryan said the comments are "based on reasoning I don't relate to." But the GOP front-runner also received a rebuff from beyond the grave from one of the most important Republican figureheads of all time: Ronald Reagan.

Okay, so Reagan didn't actually manifest to dissuade voters from supporting Trump — instead, his son Michael Reagan expressed his doubts about Trump via Twitter. "I will not be voting for Donald Trump tomorrow in the California primary," he announced. He went on:

This most likely would be the 1st time if my father was alive that he would not support the nominee of the GOP @Reince @newsmax — Michael Reagan (@ReaganWorld) June 6, 2016

Of course not. Ronald Reagan would naturally vote for Hillary. (Do I really need a sarcasm tag?)

Reagan would vote for Trump. Michael Reagan is a RINO assclown.

What kind of work has Michael Reagan ever done that required breaking a sweat?

I think Mike is confusing not saying anything bad about a fellow Republican with whether to endorse or not

PRESIDENT Reagan had some pretty determined opinions about what is, is not and should be's .... as does Trump .... and I'm not so sure they're that far separated

Man, when I read the title I immediately assumed that this was the liberal fairy son, but I see instead that it’s the good son. That’s a little distressing.

The whole lawsuit was "trumped up". The primary complainant has now been excused cuz she's too tired.

The real reason is that she would have to lie under oath to make the case.

Well it appears Michael and the wicked witch have something in common. They can both commune with the dead. Who knew?

Michael at one time was very good, then he went GOPe a few years ago. He’s not worth spit now. Maybe they are blackmailing him.

Under normal circumstances, he’s probably right. But to save the Republic from a communist takeover...he damn well would!

When the gopE speaks you’d better get in line if you’re trying to make a living running your mouth.

Who was the last president who actually had a job? I guess it was Truman when he sold shirts.

I absolutely agree. Sonny boy is nothing without the Reagan name. Too bad he doesn’t deserve it.

Did not his father when he was President met Mr. Trump when Mr. Trump was younger at the White House?
