Patti Davis: “Dear Republicans: Stop using my father, Ronald Reagan, to justify your silence on Trump”

Aren't Democrats doing that? They are destroying this country. Just look at California. That doesn't represent democracy. The far left has taken control and it no longer stands for what democracy did before.

Isn’t this the same daughter who had opposing views of what her father was doing as president?

I have mixed feelings.

I don't think Reagan would be horrified.
Trump and Reagan certainly have different technique and style, but their politics are pretty much the same.

Trump has not assaulted the Constitution.

I do agree somewhat with " Republicans in this government, she said, are “just sitting by the sidelines" With noted exceptions - that is true.

Actually, being old enough to have voted for Ronald Reagan, I think Reagan would have liked Trump very much. No, the Republican Party does not look anything like the Republican Party of Reagan's time, which is why someone like Trump was needed. He isn't getting impeached, he isn't resigning, and he very likely may be elected for a second term.

Patty Davis, did nothing but fight with her father in her adult life. I think Patty Davis doesn't like Trump, knows her father would have, and that's just one more thing for her to be pissed off at Daddy for.

Is this the same "daughter" who spent years as the "estranged" daughter of President Reagan? The same "daughter" who publicly criticized President Reagan throughout his years in office?

:) I have to suggest that somewhere in her motive to reconciliate with dad there's a financial component. Like "Oh-Oh! Maybe I'll be left out of his will". Or maybe she's just another liberal malcontent.

Everyone is just sitting and watching. Although reagonomics got me a15.5 % mortgage and the 911 administration wiped out my sons' trust funds,I have to admit Trump has stooped to purely being self pleasing without any regard to the public needs. As if he was voted to be the new owner of America as opposed to being voted to s serve his country and working for us. Just my opinion.

wake up everyone, this really is shocking since Reagan started this latest phase of fascism here....yup.

call someone write someone and speak out loudly

this is it 4 democracy, last gasp city

and please don't dismiss me here cause I am no superstar member on sw

meanwhile thislady put her parents thru hell. I didn't nor would i read the story.

How does trump attack the constitution?

Disagree. What assaults to the constitution? Regan was also very bad at dealing with immigration. I personally and professionally see that the constitution is in much better hands with Trump in office . He is all that stands between us and the socialist / globalist destruction of this country.

@akindheart Yes but you see what I mean...what a little punk.

Did you know the Bishop of Krakpw holds mass for the soul of Ronnie Reagan (what my father always called him) on the anniversary of his death? The masses were perscribed "in perpeptuum." That's what I want to attend.

My reply to Miss Reagan? Sorry, bitch. You don't "own" your father's memory, a memory you have attacked and insulted the since the day he died by saying he had an "unhealthy" relationship with Nancy and who you opposed and made fun of including his wife when they were alive AND after their death.

What a vampire, getting attention now by bringing up the memory of her father ONLY whom she mocked and opposed when he was alive but now tries to "copyright" his memory now that he is dead... Nor is Trump the first Republican leader she has treated to this sort of "argument."

She is a disgusting, loathsome creature who, when the Cardinal of Krakow announced the cathedral would hold yearly services for his soul on the anniversary of his death wrote a snarky letter in which she said her father wasn't Catholic "so what are you bothering?" Nice.

I agree. Reagan was a patriot and a true republican. Although I was appalled at some of his deregulation and tax breaks for the rich. I was more a Kennedy era type. Thats what actually made America great.

I'd still vote trump.

She is quite correct in saying
[quote]“bears no resemblance to the Republican Party of my father’s time.” [/quote]
My in-laws (staunch Republicans who voted for him) would also be appalled.

But ... she’s not Reagan is she ? Reagan would have applauded Trump for doing what he was afraid to do

It's the Party of Trump now .... they are all in the gutter with him.

So what? She doesn't own her father's memory.

the only part of her comment that I'll comment on is this:

Ronald Regan was a public person so family doesn't have the sole rights to say who can comment on what he may or may not believe.

What if George Washington XXIII (a direct descendant of the first prez) said "hey don't talk about great..great...Granddaddy? would he have the right?

That being said, I don't really base my viewpoints based on what a famous politician says. Hopefully it will be based on the quality of the position - not which famous person said what.

This is why people stop coming to SW

talk about the pot calling the kettle black. That guy about killed blue collar workers . He's the one that told Mexico
"Mi casa et su casa"(My house is your house) come on over.

The GOP morphed, in record time, into the Trump party. Or perhaps I should say that the Tea Party absorbed the GOP.

As a liberal here, I see no direct assault on the Constitution by Trump. 🤷‍♂️

Even when "it" WAS about the Russians a few decades ago, it was STILL ALWAYS about us.

Yup..

WOW! good on her!

Agree
