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

This article is about Michael Reagan not Ron Jr.
I know, but we got into the Regan legacy a bit so I offered some additional ancillary background for the purpose of educating those who may not have knowledge of little Ron’s antics.
Michael Reagan was adopted.
Michael Edward Reagan (born John Flaugher; March 18, 1945) is the son of former U.S. ... He was adopted by Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman shortly after his birth.
Michael..
And your Dad would NOT have said anything negative concerning his apprehension with the nominee either.
Too quick on the draw......and yes you are correct
precisely
The Democrats elected a crook who sold out America to enrich herself and is currently under FBI investigation. Not a peep from any Democrat higher ups about how unfit she it.
Republicans never cease to amaze me at sabotaging their party. Maybe we should stop the charade and just call them what they are....Democrats.
In a third world country, Bill & Hillary would have been ousted in a coup.
Michael is a very good example of good people who have completely misunderstood what Trump is all about.
His platform is rock solid. They dismiss him, think of him doing things he hasn’t, and melt down over it.
Once melted down, everything they hear concerning this person feeds their preconceived notion.
They have lost rationality on the issue of Trump, the man.
There is this phenomenon on college campuses that sees the students form opinions about people or groups, then utter “la la la la la la la” over anything emitted from these people or groups. They simply refuse to listen, because anything “those folks” could say, would be vile and unacceptable.
Here Michael Reagan exhibits this behavior.
These folks have melted down, and they can’t see it.
They need intervention.
According to Ivana, Reagan sent Trump a letter in the 80’s suggesting that he seriously considering running for President. According to Ivana, at the time, they were having their marital issues and the beginning of his financial issues, so he tabled the idea, but apparently Reagan was a very big fan of Trump.
Who cares who he does or doesn’t vote for, pathetic whiner.
I don’t think his daughter Patty was so great either. But Michael has always presented himself as conservative and capitalized on being Reagan’s son. He is not Reagan’s spokesperson.
