There’s more than one reason the ex-president doesn’t want to attend the GOP debate at the Reagan presidential library.
, 41 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said Reagan had done the best job as president over the past 40 years. But nearly the same number — 37 percent — said Trump had.
First Trump supporters wanted Trump’s name added to the county’s Lincoln Dinner, “then other people said, ‘Well, if we’re going to add him, I want Reagan added, too.’ You know how politics works — ‘I’ll vote for it if you’ve got Reagan’ and ‘I’ll vote for it if you’ve got Trump,’ so there you go, and you have the Lincoln-Reagan-Trump Dinner.”
“The basic message can co-exist,” Khachigian said. “It’s just different ways of delivering it. It’s the difference between a violin and a bugle.” Today, he said, the party is “held hostage” by a former president who is “attacking all the institutions. It’s the Department of Justice, it’s the FBI. It’s the Constitution.” And it’s the leadership of the Reagan foundation — here at what his wife, Joy, a Democrat, called “a sacred place for me.”
