You are correct look at he field in the 1980 primary
GW Bush
R. Dole
j Anderson
P Crane
All of these are either left of or similar to Romney today and Reagan never acted like Gingrich he took them on regarding issues and blew them out of the water.
Wow - forgot about Crane. Hillsdale grad. It’s one thing to like your candidate and support them - it’s quite another to just ignore history.
Reagan would not have done what Gingrich is doing and would not have approved of trying to go scorched earth, any means necessary on Romney. It’s classless.
Romney is a liberal republican and has flip/flopped-evolved on a number of issues (though so did Reagan moving from Dem to Rep). That should be enough to do him in if it’s not a majority position. Attacking him for being a businessman? Really? Pretending you’re not rich simply because Romney is Trading Places/wrinkly old white people rich? How is that credible? And when did rich become a bad thing for us? Romney didn’t get rich off of selling celebrity and government access - so I don’t see where it’s a bad thing.
