Before Republicans began to idolise former president Donald Trump, most prayed at the altar of Ronald Reagan, who famously bestowed an 11th Commandment to the GOP: “Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.”
Despite this, all of the Republican presidential candidates will be doing a whole bunch of sinning in the late president’s backyard as Republicans convene at the Reagan Library for the second debate. That is, of course, with the exception of Mr Trump, who is ditching the event to speak in Detroit in an attempt to appeal to striking auto workers (albeit at a non-union shop).
