Reagan: The not-so Great Debate
—
by
The Great Debate already seems weeks ago. I watched every minute of it with my wife and daughter and a glass of good wine. I’ve found it’s the heart-healthiest way to watch a presidential debate, because you can’t scream like hell and wave your arms around with a glass of wine in your hand. We…

Reagan: Trump or Hillary or ?
—
by
It’s after Labor Day. Now the presidential election is getting serious. Now is when what the candidates say and do really counts. And now, incredibly, an already depressing campaign is getting worse every day. No matter who wins in November, we’re going to end up with a president that half the country hates and the…

Reagan: Helping Trump isn’t easy
—
by
Donald Trump actually looked like a statesman in Mexico City Wednesday afternoon. It didn’t matter what he and the president of Mexico talked about. It didn’t even matter if they made a secret handshake deal to split the cost of building the great Wall of Trump. For the first time in his long campaign, Trump…

Reagan: Trump’s bathwater vs. Hillary’s
—
by
The Great Donald Trump Pivot is still very much in progress. Who knows where his position on illegal immigration is going. If he does any more specials with Sean Hannity, he’s liable to replace his signature border wall idea with a big open gate in El Paso manned by volunteers from Welcome Wagon. What’s the…

Reagan: Trump needs more votes, less applause
—
by
I’ve finally figured out what Donald Trump’s main problem is. No jokes, please. It’s because at his core he’s an entertainer who’s looking for applause, not a politician who’s looking for votes. Applause makes you feel good on stage at the Improv or at the end of a Broadway play. But it doesn’t get you…

Reagan: Shut up for a month, Donald
—
by
Forget the idea of a Republican intervention. Nothing GOP bigwigs or people like Rudy Giuliani can say to Donald Trump now will get his head straight and get him back on track. For candidate Trump, it ought to be pretty clear by now that there is no track, no train, no schedule and no final…

Reagan: Forgiving John Hinckley
—
by
A federal judge has ruled that John Hinckley Jr., the mentally disturbed man who tried to assassinate my father 35 years ago, will be set free in about a week. Many people, including members of my own family, think it’s a terrible injustice that Hinckley, now 61, will be allowed to leave the mental hospital…

Reagan: We can’t elect a liar in chief

by
The stunt Ted Cruz pulled at the GOP convention in Cleveland Wednesday night may someday become known as his “Mistake on the Lake.” By making a point to not endorse Donald Trump in his speech and telling people to vote their “conscience” in the fall Cruz did his own political future and his conservative principles…

Reagan: Hillary’s Expensive Jacket
—
by
Hillary Clinton may have been better off wearing the Emperor’s New Clothes during her victory speech after the New York primary, rather than what she chose to wear and her aides managed to overlook. Clinton, who has decried income “inequality” throughout the nation during her campaign, stood before the assembled – and carefully screened –…

Letter: Bernie supporters sick of both parties
—
by
Editor: Oh, Mr. Reagan! There is no magic pill to squash the hand of Democratic or Republican corruption. If there was, I would not have been so gung-ho for Bernie. In Michael Reagan’s opinion piece he called anyone who supported Bernie Sanders a freeloader. What a bunch of bologna! It’s like saying anyone who eats peanut butter…
