Michael Reagan to Romney: 'Time to Shut Up'

Political commentator Michael Reagan told Newsmax TV on Thursday that "the only person who needs to shut up is Mitt Romney" on whether Donald Trump should release his tax returns.

"I can understand other people saying that," Reagan told "The Steve Malzberg Show" in an interview. "But Mitt Romney, who brought you out of your building?"

Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, called on Trump to release his tax returns — saying Wednesday that refusing to do so disqualified him from running for the White House.

Michael Reagan is the author of the new book, "Lessons My Father Taught Me: The Strength, Integrity, and Faith of Ronald Reagan." He is the former president's eldest son.

"He really should have nothing to say," Reagan said of Romney. "He got his shot. He got his chance — and he lost.

"And, essentially, he spent half his time at Trump Tower trying to raise money for his campaign back in 2012," he added. "Now all of a sudden it's a different situation.

"So, if I were Mitt Romney — let me just say this — it's time to shut up."

But now that Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee, he must foster unity within the party. That includes reaching out to his former rivals — he talked for 15 minutes on Wednesday with Lindsey Graham — and particularly Ted Cruz.

"It's not up to me to make amends and unite this party," Reagan told Malzberg. "It's up to Donald Trump to in fact reach out and unite the party.

"It's very smart of him to meet with Lindsey Graham. He should meet with the Bushes. He should meet with everybody else that he ran against because they've got a lot of followers.

"Ted Cruz got a lot of votes too — and you've got to sit there and massage Ted Cruz so Ted Cruz feels comfortable to be able to endorse you and bring all of his voters," Reagan said.

"Forget the delegates now. The voters: that's the important point now."

"And, essentially, he spent half his time at Trump Tower trying to raise money for his campaign back in 2012," he added. "Now all of a sudden it's a different situation.

It's becoming painfully clear which pundits have literally sold out. These talking points accusing just about anyone they can of wanting money from Trump are direct from Trump himself.

John Flaugher has been making a living off his adopted father's name for decades now. I guess someone has to, since Reagan's own biological kids are liberals.

Yes The Orange One has to unify the party... Trump has to close the deal, or win with Sanders voters.

Personally I do not think trump can unify the party, he cannot close the deal. Scam Wow may...however, win with Sanders voters.

At any rate it is not incumbent upon me to reach out to trump or his supporters. Every stick in the eye they throw out ..here and elsewhere is just one more reason to despise them and  trump.

But hey, if you think you do not need our votes...well trump sporters.. you are doing a great job making sure trump will not get them.

It takes a lot more to stand firm with your principles when all the STrumpets are demanding you give your principles up and toe the line.

Romney is not helpful. He needs to slink back to the shadows.

Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. One Peter 5:8

No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the Lord.  Isaiah 54:17

I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one. Ezekiel 22:30



In 1 Corinthians 15:52, Paul indicated that believers will be changed (just prior to the Rapture), in the twinkling of an eye, at the "last trumpet."

In Revelation 11:15, John describes the sounding of the "seventh trumpet," which is the last of the trumpets of judgment. It is seen, at this time, that the kingdom of the world will become the kingdom of God and Christ.
