Reagan went after Republicans for trying to be all inclusive.
Excerpts From Ronald Reagan’s 1975 Speech To CPAC
I don‘t know about you, but I am impatient with those Republicans who after the last election rushed into print saying, “We must broaden the base of our party”–when what they meant was to fuzz up and blur even more the differences between ourselves and our opponents.
Also Reagans "11th Commandment" was not his. It was dreamed up by the head of the California RNC, Gaylord Parkinson. Reagan dumped it when Ford kicked him around in 76.
Then he got all inclusive a year later by picking Schweiker as his VP.
I intend to campaign vigorously for whoever our nominee is, and tonight I ask each of you to join me in this important crusade. - Ronald Reagan 1988
