    Michael Reagan: My Father Would Be 'Absolutely Appalled' By Trump as GOP Nominee

    Michael Reagan: My Father Would Be 'Absolutely Appalled' By Trump as GOP Nominee

    By Cathy Burke | Saturday, 30 Jan 2016 12:02 PM

    Donald Trump's comparison of his "conversion" to conservative as similar to that of Ronald Reagan distorts the real estate billionaire's long liberal history, the son of the late president tells Newsmax TV.

    In an interview Friday with "Newsmax Now" host John Bachman, political commentator Michael Reagan said his father's change from Democrat to Republican "wasn't something that happened overnight."

    "Donald Trump is making his conversion because he's running for the nomination of the Republican Party and trying to reach out to conservatives and have them believe that he is a conservative," Reagan said.

    Reagan discussed his recent column in the influential New Hampshire Union Leader headlined "Trump Is No Ronald Reagan." See Column – Click Here

    Reagan wrote that Trump’s sudden switch to conservativism could not be easily believed,
    and that the billionaire still advocates a universal healthcare program far worse than Obamacare.

    Reagan also criticized Trump for his recent praise of Hillary Clinton, financial donations to
    Democrats like Rahm Emanuel, and for having backed both Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale over his Dad.

    "This wasn't something that happened overnight with Ronald Reagan," Reagan told Newsmax, detailing his late father's conversion. "This was something that was in place and in motion over many, many, many, many years before he came to his determination to be a conservative, to be a Republican."

    "I get so tired of people coming to me saying 'he reminds me of your father' and I just go, 'how?'" Reagan said. "Donald Trump never supported Ronald Reagan. He supported [Walter] Mondale, he supported [Jimmy] Carter. Those are the people he supported against the nomination and election of Ronald Reagan."

    "And If you look at what he has said and you look at what he's done over the years, it has nothing to do with conservatism and everything to do with liberalism," Reagan added.

    Well, our country has not done well so the Legacy wasn't of much benefit to our country. Reagan busted unions which led to working welfare. Reagan expanded and opened up this free trade disaster that's sucking all our jobs and money supply out of the country. Reagan signed the biggest amnesty in US history that accelerated the illegal immigration problem. Reagan fought the Equal Rights Amendment that would have assured through the Constitution equal pay for equal work and other basic rights for women. Home mortgage interest rates were double digit, 13 to 14% with 20% down and top credit scores. He deregulated the airlines which took a wonderful airline system that was devoted to customers and turned it into an airborne cattle car racket that serves shareholders instead of passengers.

    Republicans need to be honest about the role "conservatism" had played in the Republican Party and face the fact that it doesn't work. There's a reason the Republican Party is called the Republican Party and not the Conservative Party.

    Republicanism works in our great Republic. But when you become a Republican it really helps if you know what it means.

    Trump is actually a Republican in his views and positions and has been his entire life. That's why he's so popular with the real base of our Party and why we will have so many new Republicans because of him. Republicanism works for our country and all of our citizens whereas "conservatism" has not, does not and will not.

    Republicanism = social liberal, fiscal conservative = liberty, equal rights and prosperity for all.

    STAY TRUE!! STAY TRUMP!!
