Former Reagan Staffer Crosses Over To The Dark Side

Ronald Reagan must be rolling in his grave.

Doug Elmets, a former speechwriter and spokesman for former President Reagan, has denounced Republican nominee Donald Trump and endorsed Hillary Clinton for President.

“It’s an honor to be here; candidly, it’s also a shock,” Elmets told the Hillary worshipers Thursday. “Not because of the momentous nature of this event, or the size of the crowd. It’s a shock because, unlike many of you, I’m a Republican.”

Apparently not anymore.

“I haven’t just voted Republican, I worked in President Reagan’s White House,” Elmets said. “I recently led an effort to place a statue of Ronald Reagan in California’s Capitol.”

“I’m here tonight to say: I knew Ronald Reagan; I worked for Ronald Reagan. Donald Trump, you are no Ronald Reagan.”

Well, duh. Trump is no Ronald Reagan, even if some of his staunchest followers believe him to be. But while Trump may not be Ronald Reagan, Hillary Clinton is the antithesis of Reagan – about as far opposite as it’s possible to get.

“Reagan saw nuance,” he said. “Trump sees the world as us vs. them, where somebody with brown skin or a foreign-sounding name is likely to blame for our troubles. Reagan knew that a leader needs diplomacy to steer a safe, prosperous course forward. Trump is a petulant, dangerously unbalanced reality star who will coddle tyrants and alienate allies.”

“While Hillary holds many policy positions that differ from my own, her qualifications are indisputable,” Elmets continued, adding, “This year’s Republican platform is the most alarming I’ve ever seen. It’s laced with anti-immigrant, anti-gay, anti-women positions that do not represent the views of most Americans. That is why this year, I will vote for a Democrat for the first time.”

It’s obvious to me that Mr. Elmets really has no clue about what is needed in today’s America. He has adopted the liberal spin on immigration, LGBT, and women’s issues. Mr. Elmets forgets that Reagan, even as he granted amnesty for the illegals in the country in 1986, did so with a promise from Congress to secure the borders. Congress failed to do so.

How said that a man who worked for Reagan and has voted Republican for 40 years now believes Hillary Clinton, with her record of corruption, ineptness, non-existent national security concerns, and lies, is the best choice to lead the country.

I hope Ronnie doesn’t get dizzy…
