Ron Reagan: "I didn't watch. I didn't want to see my father associated with THIS Republican party" [View all]

Just now on MSNBC. Asked about the rumor that Nancy (or the Reagan hologram) was going to be the "Special Guest." Said that he was "of a mind to watch" last night but after Paul Ryan's speech didn't want to see his father associated with "this Republican party, THESE Republicans," and in response to a question from Roberts. said the Reagan hologram WOULD HAVE overshadowed Romney.
