Liz Cheney – who recently endorsed Kamala Harris, a person Cheney described as a “radical liberal” just four years ago – now says there is “absolutely no chance” that Ronald Reagan would support Donald Trump.
She has it exactly backward.
It’s people like Liz Cheney and the cabal of other never-Trumpers who never would have supported Reagan when he ran in 1980.
“Donald Trump doesn’t stand for any of the things that Ronald Reagan did,” Cheney said.
Elitist movie critics – the sort of people never-Trumpers want to rub elbows with – uniformly panned “Reagan” (just 20% of critics liked the movie, according to Rotten Tomatoes) because how dare anyone make a movie that treats Reagan with respect.
When he was running against Jimmy Carter, Reagan was hardly all sunshine and roses, as he’s often depicted.
Nevertheless, we have no doubt that, had they been around in 1980, the never-Trumpers of today would have denounced Reagan in 1980 for the same reasons they are denouncing Trump and would have urged Republicans to re-elect Jimmy Carter.
