THE OL’ SWITCHEROO
Ronald Reagan, 1962
He may be the patron saint of limited government, but Ronald Reagan started out as a registered Democrat and New Deal supporter. An F.D.R. fan, the Gipper campaigned for Helen Gahagan Douglas in her fruitless 1950 Senate race against Richard Nixon and encouraged Dwight D. Eisenhower to run for President as a Democrat in 1952.

Truman was the last democrat presidential candidate that Reagan voted for, and in 1952 he campaigned for the Republican candidate, Eisenhower, as he did again in 1956, and for Nixon in 1960.
And what does this have to do with Trump who left the GOP AFTER Reagan’s presidency, and was a democrat, at age 63, under Obama in 2009?
