Reagan’s Son: If My Dad Was Alive, I Doubt He Would Support Trump as Nominee

Michael Reagan, the conservative son of President Ronald Reagan, declared today he won’t be voting for Donald Trump tomorrow, and he strongly believes his father would do the same.

With so many Republicans reluctantly lining up behind Trump because, they argue, at least he’s not Hillary Clinton, Reagan’s son says his father would stand on principle and refuse to back the Republican nominee for the first time, if he was still alive:

I will not be Voting for Trump tomorrow in the Calif.Primary..

Reagan argued months ago that his father would find Trump appalling.
