Speaking on a radio program Sunday, Michael Reagan suggested his father might be in the #NeverTrump camp were he alive today.
"At best, [President Reagan] would be confused by Donald Trump and the way he's running the campaign," Reagan said. "I don't think he'd be appreciative of the demeaning style of Donald Trump — the way he's treated the other candidates — because my father knew that at the end of the day he had to bring everyone together to win an election."
