Reagan son: My dad would have been ‘appalled’ by Donald Trump

Collapse of Hillary?

Hello?

Michael is the one who isn't the dancer.

He didn't make it as a talk show host but he was pretty interesting in many ways. I liked Huckabee as a talk show host on radio too, but Lord Almighty I'd never vote for him just because he had Chris Wallace on every Friday and they were hysterical together.

Once again tinydancer proves how out of touch with reality he is

Collapse of Hillary?

Hello?

Reagan was a failure and Hillary is a juggernaut. Is there something seriously wrong with you?

I have no idea what you term as success and what you believe to be collapse, yet is obvious you have problems that go beyond mere comprehension.

Hillary Clinton's campaign has collapsed before we've even had a vote in any primary state election?

Uhm ..

Reagan had his wins and loses. He had his legacy in tatters with the right wing and others before the Reagan Legacy Project began whitewashing history

I thought it would be obvious. Dems are flailing to resurrect anyone who is electable because obviously Sanders isn't cutting it.

Why do you think that is, idiot?

Reagan had the higher ratings when leaving office than than anyone since these ratings came into existence.

Dingbat aside, what the fuck is wrong with you?

Conservative Opposition - Hardline conservatives protest Gorbachev’s visit to Washington, and the signing of the treaty, in the strongest possible terms. When Reagan suggests that Gorbachev address a joint session of Congress, Congressional Republicans, led by House member Dick Cheney (R-WY—see 1983), rebel. Cheney says: “Addressing a joint meeting of Congress is a high honor, one of the highest honors we can accord anyone. Given the fact of continuing Soviet aggression in Afghanistan, Soviet repression in Eastern Europe, and Soviet actions in Africa and Central America, it is totally inappropriate to confer this honor upon Gorbachev. He is an adversary, not an ally.” Conservative Paul Weyrich of the Free Congress Committee is more blunt in his assessment of the treaty agreement: “Reagan is a weakened president, weakened in spirit as well as in clout, and not in a position to make judgments about Gorbachev at this time.” Conservative pundit William F. Buckley calls the treaty a “suicide pact.” Fellow conservative pundit George Will calls Reagan “wildly wrong” in his dealings with the Soviets. Conservatives gather to bemoan what they call “summit fever,” accusing Reagan of “appeasement” both of communists and of Congressional liberals, and protesting Reagan’s “cutting deals with the evil empire” (see March 8, 1983). They mount a letter-writing campaign, generating some 300,000 letters, and launch a newspaper ad campaign that compares Reagan to former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. Senators Jesse Helms (R-NC) and Steven Symms (R-ID) try to undercut the treaty by attempting to add amendments that would make the treaty untenable; Helms will lead a filibuster against the treaty as well.
Senate Ratification and a Presidential Rebuke - All the protests from hardline opponents of the treaty come to naught. When the Senate votes to ratify the treaty, Reagan says of his conservative opposition, “I think that some of the people who are objecting the most and just refusing even to accede to the idea of ever getting an understanding, whether they realize it or not, those people, basically, down in their deepest thoughts, have accepted that war is inevitable and that there must come to be a war between the superpowers.” [Scoblic, 2008, pp. 142-145]

1988: Reagan Abandoned, Mocked by Hardline Conservatives[/paste:font]

As the end of President Reagan’s final term approaches, conservatives and hardliners have radically changed their view of him. They originally saw him as one of their own—a crusader for good against evil, obstinately opposed to communism in general and to any sort of arms reduction agreement with the Soviet Union in specific. But recent events—Reagan’s recent moderation in rhetoric towards the Soviets (see December 1983 and After), the summits with Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev (see November 16-19, 1985 and October 11-12, 1986), and the recent arms treaties with the Soviets (see Early 1985 and December 7-8, 1987) have soured them on Reagan. Hardliners had once held considerable power in the Reagan administration (see January 1981 and After and Early 1981 and After), but their influence has steadily waned, and their attempts to sabotage and undermine arms control negotiations (see April 1981 and After, September 1981 through November 1983, May 1982 and After, and April 1983-December 1983), initially quite successful, have grown less effective and more desperate (see Before November 16, 1985). Attempts by administration hardliners to get “soft” officials such as Secretary of State George Shultz fired do not succeed. Conservative pundits such as George Will and William Safire lambast Reagan, with Will accusing him of “moral disarmament” and Safire mocking Reagan’s rapport with Gorbachev: “He professed to see in Mr. Gorbachev’s eyes an end to the Soviet goal of world domination.” It will not be until after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the tearing down of the Berlin Wall (see November 9, 1989 and After) that conservatives will revise their opinion of Reagan, in the process revising much of history in the process.

In in an interview with NewsMax, radio host Michael Reagan expressed his distaste for the scorched earth campaign the billionaire businessman is running against his Republican rivals, invoking his father, President Ronald Reagan, who was notable for his belief in the ’11th Commandment’ : “Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.”

“What he’s done is really appalling,” Reagan said. “My father would be appalled. … On behalf of my father and the Reagan family to see someone like this who just personally attacks people time and time and time again is absolutely appalling to me and I hope all the voters start to see through Donald Trump and the kind of candidate that he his and the kind of president he may end up being.”

According to Reagan, Trump’s campaign is long on inflammatory rhetoric and short on specifics.



“It’s nice to say, ‘I’m going to make America great again,’ but how are you going to do that? What laws are you going to pass? What bills are you going to pass? How are you going to work with Congress? What are you going to do?” Reagan said.

Trumps fans respond with "He talks tough and I like tough talkin'" about specifics?

Is Michael the ballerina or the failed talk show host?

ron is the failed ballerina...dante is the failed talk show host.

Seriously his son?

You do know he is a liberal right?

You are thinking of Ron Reagan. Not Michael.

Michael is a born again Christian. Conservative.

MOST people should be bothered by Trump, but they are 'spell-bound' by him, awed as if he were some 'rock star' simply because he is bold, arrogant, does what he wants, and says what he thinks people want to hear.... Wake up, people - THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE NOW! LOL

Those enthralled by Trump are moronic, party-loyal sheep ... just like those who fawned all over obama.

I'm going to have to come at you on this dear heart. No disrespect.

Trump has opened up the game. Wide. That's what everyone is loving. Personally I would like to see a Walker presidency, not sure on VP, Carson Surgeon General, Cruz AG.

I love it. We have so many brilliant people running it makes me crazy. Good crazy. What Trump is doing love him or hate him he's drawing all the fire so that every other candidate can get their message out.

This is awesome. Anyone who says we should clear the decks and have our nominee out there is a bloody fool. That just gives the D media more time to nuke and smear a contender.

Remember 2012. It was a carnival game. They took out each R candidate with the help of Rove to leave only Romney.

I disagree, he's drowning out everyone elses voice.

Absolutely do not believe our nominee s/be out there yet. But Trump is over-shadowing the others. If the media - Fox in particular - would give the others as much air time as they give Trump? Ok. But from what I've seen, they're not.

He didn't cut any of those areas and he supported the original plans for the international space station.

Could Reagan cut the budget without the approval of the Congress?

facts:

"Give him enough rope," Tip used to confide to journalists like me. He was convinced that Reagan would hand the Democrats a platform to run on in 1982.

Which Reagan did, serving up the issue of Social Security. When an administration plan to cut benefits for early retirees leaked, O'Neill pounced. "Despicable," he said, calling it a "rotten thing to do." Then came Reagan's tax-cut plan. O'Neill was all over it. "He has no concern, no regard, no care for the little man of America," O'Neill thundered. "And I understand that. Because of his lifestyle, he never meets those people." It was pure Tip. But Reagan hurled it right back at him, calling his statement "sheer demagoguery." As John Farrell recounts in his superb biography, Tip O'Neill and the Democratic Century, the speaker went to the press gallery to try to claim the high road, saying, "I would never accuse a president, whoever he was, of being a demagogue." Farrell writes that the president phoned O'Neill the next day to call a truce. "Ronnie called him to clear the air, and Tip told him right then, 'Old buddy, that's politics--after 6 o'clock we can be friends; but before 6, it's politics.'"
