What Reagan himself would have done?, How he would feel about a liberal piece of scum like Mitt Romney, the most lefty candidate that has ever been a GOP candidate, more lefty than most democrats in history?
The idiocy is you trying to claim that this represents a sort of support from Ronald Reagan, who we all know would not be enthusiastic to help his Rockefeller/Romney enemies take over his party, that he fought so hard to wrest from them, especially during a period when his conservative base was making such gains through the tea party.
To see a Mitt Romney, the ultimate anti-Reagan manage to pull this off, would have broken his heart.
you just kind of repeated what you said earlier except for the first line, which I’ll address.
You will get no argument out of me that Romney is not a conservative. Most lefty candidate ever out of the GOP? Possibly, at least in modern times. I think Teddy Roosevelt could give him a run for his money.
But thats not telling the whole story, if we’re playing what would Reagan do, now is it? Conceeding that you are right, the question would be what would he do with a matchup of the most leftist GOP candidate in history VS. The most left president of all time, raised in marxism and indoctrinated with black liberation theology? Would Reagan back the GOP candidate, abstain or go third party?
You’re doing a pretty good job of saying why Reagan wouldn’t like Romney. Again, I am not saying Reagan would love the guy. But you arent telling me what you think he would do and why. Do you think he would really say “conservatives, dont vote this year at risk of another 4 years of Obama”? or “vote for Joe Schmoe who has zero chance of winning”? This discussion isn’t about Romney and anything he’s ever said and if he’s a real conservative or has been one in the past. He isn’t. I know he isn’t. EVERYONE knows he isn’t if they arent asleep or stupid. We can post clips all day long of Romney saying creepy things, and I get it. But the question for purposes of this discussion is what would Reagan do, and if you are going to try to convince me that he’d NOT back the GOP, then at least come with some logic about what he would do and why.
