LETTER: Donald Trump is no Ronald Reagan

After reading Michael Reagan’s Tuesday commentary, I was thinking that President Ronald Reagan must be rolling over in his grave if he had read his adopted son’s total support for Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential victory. President Reagan was a man of integrity and class. He was mainstream Republican.

He was also a president who was fair and could reach across the aisle in his day. In fact, the first person to see President Reagan in his hospital room after the attempted assassination on his life in 1981 was Democrat Thomas “Tip” O’Neill, who was speaker of the House. During this time, the Soviet Union was dismantled, and that was the end of the Cold War.

Unfortunately, we have a president-elect who has allowed Russia to intervene and now the country is polarized. Something to think about?

The odds of a failing teacher, tucked comfortably under the blanket of the teachers union, being let go are approximately 100 million to 1.

We Nevada voters had presented to us a bumper crop of examples of campaign signs using distortions, strawmen and appeals to fear, to name just a few.
