Romney hated Reagan enough to leave the party in 1979.
Mitt, liberal GOP intern in his teens, son of a liberal republican governor and presidential candidate, and a liberal mother who was a republican Senate candidate, formally left the republican party in 1979 because of his revulsion at Reagan, and did not return to it until October, 1993, after becoming a Democrat supporter, fund raiser, and voter.
Mitt is not likely to become the “new Reagan” (sarc), the GOP establishment and the Romney machine has done every thing they can to erase, destroy, marginalize, the new Reagan, the Governor from Alaska, and Reaganism reborn, in the tea party, and it may have worked.
Wow. I didn’t even know part of that. Do you have an article?
