“Mitt Romney 2008 Presidential Campaign: Senior Advisor
Disqualifier, in my book.”

More than President Reagan’s political development from New Deal Democrat to conservative Republican?

There was a difference. Ronald Reagan was sincere.

For all intents and purposes, Ronald Reagan was a Republican by the time he was 41 and already well on the road to low tax-limited government conservatism.

Romney had his so-called conservative epiphany when he was nearly 60, coming on the eve of his decision to run for president. A Johnny-Come-Lately, phony baloney, if there ever was one.

Reagan was driven by principles and love of country. Political expediency drives Willard's personal ambition.
