If you look at his stances in the past ...
If you look at Ronald Reagan past, you'll find he was a Democrat and was SAG union president to boot.

True. But there was a lot between Reagan’s Democrat days and his run for the presidency, not least two terms as a Republican governor.

That is true, and I love what Trump is doing, but sometimes I feel he’s not all there, which is great now, but when he is the most powerful man on the planet...

But hey, we have nothing to lose anymore when colleges are banning the words he/she and woman/man...

Reagan evolved into a conservative in the late forties and through the fifties fighting the communists in Hollywood as head of the SAG, and working for GE (then a bastion of corporate America) as a spokesman. In 1964 he delivered the televised speech which remains the best exposition of Conservative reasoning ever put on film. Then he cut his political teeth as a two term governor of the nation’s largest and most diverse State. A twenty year gap between being a Democrat and the even conceiving the idea of running for president as a Republican, and another eight years till he tried, with a solid thirty years as a Conservative Republican spokesman and then icon before winning the nomination, and some people want to compare Trump to him?

Not a year before he ran for president.
