Reagan’s Son Rails Against Trump In Fiery Tweetstorm
« on: October 03, 2016, 11:55:33 pm »
“If this is where he is going I cannot follow him,” he wrote in a Twitter barrage.

by: Willa Frej 

Ronald Reagan’s son is lashing out against Donald Trump, expressing his disbelief and disappointment that the man running for president on the GOP ticket technically represents the same party his father once did.

“No way do I or would my father support this garbage,” Michael Reagan wrote in a

tweetstorm Sunday night, linking to a Politico article dissecting Trump’s latest comments on Hillary Clinton, his opponent, whom he accused of being unfaithful to former President Bill Clinton.

“If this is where he is going I cannot follow him,” he continued, adding that his father would have probably reacted by saying something like: “I didn’t leave the Party, the Party left me.”

Reagan also urged Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, to take a stand against Trump.

“Getting [to] a Point with Trump where I just don’t give a shit,” Reagan wrote.

A selection of his tweets are below:

Wasn't he fully onboard the Trump Train just a few weeks ago? What happened—or did someone get ahold of his Twitter account?

The links to his tweets are in the article.  Same with the Politico article he references.

Well, yeah, I know that, I'm just wondering why the sudden change of direction. Most Trump supporters aren't known for being mercurial. They're about as stubborn as Democratic donkeys.

Still think the funniest news out of today is, if you put "acumen" in Trump's teleprompter, he says "a-cumin"
Roy Moore's "spiritual warfare" is driving past a junior high without stopping.

I suspect he's got that backwards.  IMO, his father "technically" represented the same party that Trump does.  The GOP didn't want RWR at the time, and they haven't wanted another like him since (though always keeping a picture handy during campaign season).

For the GOP not wanting Reagan, per your claim, somehow he managed to win by a landslide. 

By GOP, I mean the party establishment, not the voters or party members.

You do know Cain killed Abel don't you?  On about a billion different levels that is a weird analogy.

Deluding yourself won't make it clever.  But it's nothing to me.  Laugh away.  The joke is on you.

I don't know why anybody wastes their time on you.

My point was that it would seem crazy for Cain to rail against his father Adam, after he killed his own brother.

Focus, dear.   Focus.

I stopped considering what Mike had to say when it became obvious in '12 that he was only trotted out every 4 years to repeat his "My father would have approved of" mantra to advance the GOP's liberalism. Anyone that thinks Ronald Reagan would support the two men who epitomize EVERYTHING he fought against in the GOP is either nuts or deliberately lying about it.

ESPECIALLY his own son.

Conservative media is a joke. I feel my IQ dropping listening to it lately.


PT Barnum would be impressed the hucksters on AM Conservative talk radio.
