I'm sick of this constant Reagan bashing and total misrepresentation. Reagan was a Democrat when most Democrats were a lot different. And what's important, that people like you always manage to leave out, is Reagan had a more than 20 track record of moving towards conservatism by the time became president. He had writings and speeches. He didn't just wake up one morning an change parties like you seem to think. It's really ignorant what gets propagated.

John Kerry and Obama are completely. I weight a lot higher standard for people who supported them. The fact that you can't tell the difference between Reagan and Obama makes you look ignorant.

Kari Lake was an adult when she switched parties and supported Kerry and Obama. And I have never seen her say or write anything to revoke that support. I don't see any track record of conservatism for her. How many times do conservatives need to be burned before they learn their lesson?

I totally oppose this "Reagan, bad - Obama, good," meme.

My posts are about Reagan only.

I don’t know any details about Kari Lake except that I really like watching her speak when I’m sent to her videos by posters.

I can see any and all arguments during a primary but Kari Lake is the candidate and the only chance to defeat a leftist Arizona Governor, why would you be campaigning against her now?

I completely don’t know where that came from, don’t think that at all, don’t know where you got that from what I wrote, but I understand the rest.

There have been a lot of Democrats who have been red-pilled in the last few years. We’ll see if Kari Lake was really one of them once she’s elected. And if you look at Republicans prior to Trump, there were a lot of reasons to not like the top leadership going a good ways back. Romney? McCain? Dubya? H.W.? Yeah, I voted for all of them, but for the first two I was really holding my nose.

In any case, we can’t afford to turn away anyone who has ever supported a Democrat, which is where I’m coming from on all this.

And, individuals, including politicians CHANGE.

Trump wasn't always purely conservative. But, he is the best President and, by far, the most conservative since Reagan.

I can't find ANYTHING online that says Kari Lake voted Kerry or Obama. She's absolutely running on the right principles and I see no evidence whatsoever that she's not sincere.

And, she is infinitely a better speaker, debater and communicator than DeSantis who is an incredibly bland candidate. Having the it factor makes a huge difference and Kari Lake has has the it factor.

The Republican establishment is way, way too comfortable with DeSantis for my taste. And, that is huge red flag.

Even Jeb Bush looked conservative as governor of Florida so governing as one there doesn't tell me if DeSantis will sellout to the GOP establishment.

He'll get slaughtered, though, if he runs against Trump.
