Reagan Daughter: Dad Would Be ‘Appalled’ At Today’s GOP
Patti Davis says her father would be “appalled” by today’s Republican candidates. She spoke with Michelangelo Signorile.
(AP Photo/Chris Pizzello)In an interview with me on SiriusXM Progress, Davis said her father, who was shot in an attempted assassination by John Hinckley Jr. in 1981, would not be able to imagine today’s gun violence. Davis also noted that in stark contrast to current GOP presidential candidates and most Republican leaders, her mother, Nancy Reagan, was “very happy” about the Supreme Court’s historic decision on marriage equality…
Responding to a question about Sen. Ted Cruz often positively invoking her father’s name on the campaign trail and during debates, Davis said, “It may be this week he’s doing it more than the others. But they all kind of do it. But yet, they are so not like him. My father would be so appalled at what’s going on. He would be so appalled at these candidates. I don’t think he would be a Republican. And if another Ronald Reagan came along right now, I don’t think the Republican Party would accept him.”

Way to show how rational your argument is. Nothing says accuracy like shouting “shut the phuck up.” And here we were thinking that Trump supporters were ignorant racist dickheads.

Rube, I laugh at your incoherent rage. Your fascist clown Trump has a less of a chance of winning the general election than toe-tapping Senator Larry Craig. I suggest you take a trip to Somalia, it’s got everything you want – no taxes, no functioning govt. and everyone is heavily armed, so you know you can feel perfectly safe. In the meantime, we Americans can get some real work done.

Wow… gotta say it twice in hopes that repetition helps it make sense?

I agree. There is still a fondness in my heart for President Reagan, though he (and I) were clearly wrong on many issues. I like to believe that he would have seen the error of his ways, as Barack Obama helped me to do.
