Reagan would be amused and troubled by this GOP field

The Republican presidential candidates will debate at the Ronald Reagan library Wednesday, and you can't help but wonder what the Gipper would think of this bunch.

Would that sound you hear at the start of the debate be Reagan rolling over in his nearby grave as each candidate tries to cozy up?

Nobody knows. But as someone who covered him for 20 years in Sacramento and Washington, I can guess.

Reagan probably would be enjoying the show — not just this event in Simi Valley, but the overall campaign circus — and be especially curious about the barker, Donald Trump.
