The San Diego Union-Tribune is urging its Republican readers to write-in late former-President Ronald Reagan's name at the polls during Tuesday's California primary, to send a message to Republican candidate Donald Trump.

According to an editorial, the newspaper "can't endorse Trump for reasons documented repeatedly: belligerence, casual cruelty, incoherence on policy issues."

"We can't recommend voters don't vote at all because that's a waste, and we can't suggest voting for another candidate because it accomplishes nothing," states the editorial.

The opinion piece praises Reagan for famously urging the first President of the former Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, to tear down the Berlin Wall. It refers to Trump as the "Great Excommunicator" and cites the brash entrepreneur's promise to build a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico as well as his call to ban Muslims from entering the country.

"Trump is the Great Excommunicator. He wants Muslims banned from the country; a wall built around our southern border; global deals ripped up and renegotiated; America made "great again" through isolationism."

The editorial board of the newspaper says Trump doesn't deserve the party's mandate.

"If you are voting in the GOP primary Tuesday, write in Ronald Reagan for president. Maybe Trump will get the message."
