Donald Trump's little known involvement as a material, early supporter of Ronald Reagan
The UK Daily Mail reported here in May 2015:
'Donald Trump was on the Reagan Finance Committee in 1979-80 when most of the New York financial elite were for George Bush or John Connally,' the former campaign aide told Daily Mail Online, on condition of anonymity.
Trump and his father Fred were in the room when Reagan announced his candidacy in New York City in 1980, he explained, adding that without Trump the 40th president might have been dead in the water.
'When the phone company said it would be 30 to 60 days before they could install our phones at the Reagan for President headquarters on 52nd street,' he recalled, 'I called Donald Trump. They installed the phones the next day.'
'Donald also let us use his helicopter to fly our delegate petitions to Albany, where we filed 15 minutes before closing at the board of elections.'
And Fred Trump 'loaned the campaign some space in a building he owned in Queens,' the Reagan veteran said. 'Donald got us space on 52nd street. They were among a handful of Reagan's earliest New York Supporters.'
Laugh of the Day: Talk radio in Michigan this morning gets no calls from Democrats because they're not up yet

Trump is deliberately not countering opposition TV ads on TV, using Facebook and Twitter instead: Huge mistake?
He's also using ads during conservative talk radio programs, but overall his is a very risky strategy which may already explain why Trump is not farther ahead than he should be.
This may spell big trouble, dead ahead.
Facebook and Twitter require active participation. Television is passive and reaches more people. Facebook is ubiquitous but the irony is the owner is the big player behind the amnesty enemy. And Twitter is a sewer dominated by the thug left. They'll never vote for him anyway. At best he communicates effectively only with those who already support him.
Trump is proud of winning on a dime against losers like Bush who spent millions, but I don't think the strategy is sustainable.
This is crunch time, and Trump's not crunching.
Trump still has a big problem on H-1B flip-flop, appearance on Savage Nation today did nothing to assuage fears he's just telling people what they want to hear
Sympathetic critics like Laura Ingraham are exactly right that the time has long since passed for Trump to stop winging it, show more discipline, and spend some money on TV ads.
We're voting for him in Michigan tomorrow, but I predict Trump is going to disappoint us going forward even more than he already has.
It's almost as if he's prepared to hand this thing over to Ted Cruz, who doesn't give a fig for anything but himself.
One way or another, we're going to get the government we deserve, good and hard.
From the story here:
"Furious supporters of Donald Trump . . . are now FORMER supporters of Trump".
Mark Steyn gives Kathy Shaidle a mention on the Rush Limbaugh Show

Does Mark Steyn actually oppose Donald Trump?
It seems so.
He just said in the opener today that Trump needs 58% of the remaining delegates to clinch the nomination, which to Steyn appears to be too difficult to accomplish.
This just isn't so.
Trump needs 53.6% of the remaining, the least of all the candidates and close to his level of support through Super Tuesday.
That's 853 delegates, after Rubio won Puerto Rico yesterday, out of 1592 remaining.
Cruz needs 937, which is 58.9% of the remaining.
Steyn appears to have Cruz mixed up with Trump.
Was that on purpose?
Michigan Republicans boo Romney the "loser", call for his deportation
Byron York reports here:
Trump instinctively sensed that he could bash Romney in Romney's home state with no consequences at all. "This guy Romney came out yesterday," Trump began, which brought on lots and lots of boos. "The hatred he has, the jealousy, the hatred, it's hard to believe."
More boos. "You guys should like him, right?" Trump said. Still more boos.
'Deport Romney!" yelled a man in the crowd.
"Thank you," said Trump.
"Loser," yelled a woman near me.
The anger and frustration did not stop with political figures. A number of people complained to me about conservative media, which they believe hasn't treated Trump fairly. "I'm a National Review reader," said a man who walked up to me during Trump's speech. "I can't even look at the site anymore. It looks like Salon. Nine stories tearing [Trump] apart, man. I don't get it."
