Reagan was a democrat originally, also.
Just saying.
“Reagan was a democrat originally, also.”
Reagan’s conservative policy positions were very solid and well-reasoned by the time he ran for his first elective office. Trump’s democrat influence is still apparent on some issues, but he’s got the most important ones right now (immigration, competition for health insurance, deregulation, lower taxes lead to economic growth).
You would not have heard Reagan stumble on the question of the electoral college vs. the popular vote like Trump did on 60 minutes, for example. The founders designed our system that way exactly to avoid the kind of tyranny of the majority in a few states we would have suffered last Tuesday if left to the popular vote. THANK GOD for the electoral college!
