Not true...
Democrats and Independents indeed voted for Reagan, regardless of their party affiliations. They did not change parties to corrupt the party nomination process.
I hope many Democrats come to their senses and vote for a good Republican candidate. But they shouldn’t change parties for the sole purpose of corrupting the party nomination process.
Frankly, the RNC is full of RINO’s today as a direct result of the nutty “BIG TENT” theory. The RNC will NEVER be “conservative” again if it welcomes liberals into it’s fold, no matter the reasons.
One man, one vote. Parties are just coalitions of people. I know what your objection is, that it’s not a “true” change of party. But the reality is that some will be; Paul is wrong on Iraq but he’s right on small government and Constitutional limits on the Federal Government.
Now there's one for the archives!
