Trump is a petulant, dangerously unbalanced reality star who will coddle tyrants and alienate allies

PHILADELPHIA - A former Ronald Reagan administration official rebuked Donald Trump at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday night, as he encouraged his fellow Republicans to put loyalty to the country ahead of loyalty to the party by supporting Hillary Clinton.

"I haven't just voted Republican, I worked in President Reagan's White House," former Reagan spokesman Doug 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."

The Clinton campaign will feature several Republicans on Thursday night as they seek to highlight those who have abandoned the GOP for Clinton in the age of Trump.

"Trump is a petulant, dangerously unbalanced reality star who will coddle tyrants and alienate allies," Elmets said.
