For sentimentality, that would be OK. However, I don’t believe she’s ever been a conservative, or even very political. I felt she was involved tangentially in politics because (1) she loved her “Ronnie”, and (2) she liked the exciting life that he gave her.

Nancy was the one responsible for Ronald becoming a Republican. She was always a die-hard Republican.

“She was always a die-hard Republican.”

Maybe. We lived in the shadow (about 1/2 mile away) of the Reagan Library for a decade, and were able to see the many libs she invited drive by. (I stood on the corner holding protest signs!) I understand that the Library provides a venue for various political events, but SHE was front-and-center personally hosting libs, one of which was Teddy Kennedy.

Buc, if her urging influenced RWR to “convert”, then good for her; she becomes a saint in my eyes.
