As someone who served in the Reagan administration, I can confidently say that neither I or the vast majority of others who served the 40th president supported Trump – or even considered supporting him. Many (myself included) even voted for Biden, recognizing the moral and ethical advantage of casting such a vote in the crucial 2020 election. Where Reagan once said he “did not leave the Democratic party, the Democratic party left me” now applies to thousands of alums from Reagan years: “we did not leave the Republican party, it left us.” No amount of pandering to the legacy of President Reagan can or will change that.
Well, aren’t you special, Brent B; claiming to speak for “a vast majority of others?” Speak for yourself if you want, having been foolish or selfish enough to have voted for the bumbling, dementia-addled idiot currently in the White House, but don’t claim to speak for “a vast majority of others” without some documentation.
The documentation is the election and the swing from R to D voters.
Just for starters Bob P., how about this:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN26M5F3
Brent B., Your article is 8 months old. Search “Biden voter remorse”. You can read all day.
Scott H., do you really think that these national security experts would in hindsight now shift their support to Trump after the insurrection? You clearly do not know the character and integrity of the individuals cited in the article who chose to support Biden. They are not “fingers in the wind” leaders.
Such a tragedy in so many ways.
Insurrection – really? they let those people walk into a public space. Brent B if you voted for Biden then you never were conservative. Ronald Reagan would not approve of some of trumps tweets but he certainly would have approved his actions and the direction he was taking the country. the leftist in charge now are everything Reagan fought against. If you truly served Reagan then shame on you for supporting the travesty that is currently running and ruining our country.
I can almost guarantee Ronald Reagan would have voted for Biden over Trump. Nothing about Trump is conservative. The fact that you equate a want to be authoritarian dictator to conservatives is what’s wrong with the right-wing now. You are no longer in a conservative party. You’re part of an anti-democratic party that cares about nothing other than maintaining power for people who have always had it.
Travesty? Trump was (and is) an idiot.
