Ronald Reagan's daughter, Patti Davis, has written an open letter in the Washing Post. Here are some excerpts: She titled it, "Dear Republicans: Stop using my Father, Ronald Reagan, to justify your silence on Trump, and use his quotes that serve your purpose at any given moment." " At this moment in America's history when the democracy to which my father pledged himself and the Constitution that he swore to uphold, and did faithfully uphold, are being degraded and chipped away at by a sneering, irreverent man who traffics in bullying and dishonesty, you stay silent." "You stay silent when President Trump speaks of immigrants as if they are trash, rips children from the arms of their parents and puts them in cages." She concluded her letter as follows: "If you are going to stand silent as America is dismantled and dismembered, as democracy is thrown onto the ash heap of yesterday, shame on you," she wrote. "But don't use my father's name on the way down." The next noise you will hear, will be the republicans trashing Ronald Reagan's daughter.

Patti was always a rebel and didn't agree with her father or support the Republican Party, however she knew that her father was a decent man and the party he stood for isn't the party Trump and his followers represent. She's going to get trashed but she's a strong woman and she can handle it.
