Ronald Reagan. I know establishment types despise him.

Ronald Reagan raised the Social Security contribution from 9% to 14%. He also granted AMNESTY to 5 million illegal aliens.

So don't tell me that Cruz is not acceptable because he once worked for GWB.

Ronald Reagan was a great president and a solid conservative, but if he were running today, people like you would be calling him a RINO.

It’s simple. Conservatives will unite behind a real conservative who also has a shot at winning or they’ll divide themselves again, nitpicking every conservative to death while the progressive rino again becomes our candidate.

Do you read English? That is not what I said. We should regard his having served in the administration with great suspicion. ANY candidate should be vetted to the utmost degree. Republicans can not be trusted. You are advocated that we elected presidents without knowing anything about them, Obama-style. Haven't you learned anything? Ronald Reagan was a great president and a solid conservative, but if he were running today, people like you would be calling him a RINO.

He made mistakes, but I don't agree with you that he was a RINO.

The GOP hasn't run a conservative in more than thirty years. Yet you claim we shouldn't vet candidates before we pick them. Sounds like Pelosi-ism. "We have to elect a candidate before we know if he's conservative." Sorry, ignorance is not conservatism.

He made a bad immigration deal with Democrats who reneged Reagan said it was one of his biggest regrets. Repubs who fail to learn from that are the big RINOs

Ted Cruz was Working for Bush, he was not the one making policy.
