Reagan would be considered a RINO today.
He did nothing to stop abortions.
He did not veto tripling of federal spending in 8 years.
He gave blanket and instantaneous amnesty to all illegals!
Today, he would be considered a first class RINO.
he was pro-life
Congress writes the budget
he had a deal with Democrats, they lied and he said it was probably his biggest mistake as President
- no he would not. Today’s RINO are members of COMINTERN compared to Reagan
So you’re saying the country was further left in the 80s than it is today?
So interesting. And JFK would be to the right of Ted Cruz.
You are a liar, Reagan is not considered a rino.
There is more to the story than that.
Reagan grudgingly gave Amnesty on the promise from congress, including Democrats, that the border would be secured. So it was a compromise and it left a bad taste in his mouth. And in the end the Democrats screwed him and never secured the border. He later admitted it was one of the worst mistakes of his presidency.
As for abortion... exactly how was he supposed to stop it? He hated abortion, but that’s a matter of law decided by SCOTUS. Unlike Obama he recognized that he didn’t have the power to just unilaterally change law to suite his whims. There is a process and he respected that.
Yes, he would. He also signed the FOPA of 1986.
I do not know of a single person who says they consider Reagan a RINO. Can you name people who do?
Reagan was pro-life and appointed pro-life judges.
Reagan attempted to control Federal spending but was fought at every step. He instituted the Grace Commission which identified substantial savings. He also needed to rebuild the military which was underfunded by Carter and the Democrats. Had Reagan not been president spending would have increased more.
He agreed to the Simpson-Mazolli Act which was a mistake. He enforced border security far more than any president since.
You're an idiot if you believe that.
He did nothing to stop abortions.
You couldn't possibly be more wrong.
He did not veto tripling of federal spending in 8 years.
The ONLY people who say this are non-conservative liberals and libertarians.
He gave blanket and instantaneous amnesty to all illegals!
Total BS!
Reagan signed a bill that had huge bipartisan support (it would have almost certainly withstood a veto) that gave amnesty to SOME illegals and had measures to stop the influx of further illegals. It's not Reagan's fault that the provisions to stop illegals was ignored.
Today, he would be considered a first class RINO.
Put down the bong.
Don’t forget banning open carry as Governor of CA.
Supported (for a time, after he was Pres.) the Brady Bill.
Pulled our troops out of Lebanon.
Huge deficit spending.
In spite of those things (and the ones you listed), he was a great president. And I think we all need to remember those blemishes on Reagan when we are looking for the next Conservative candidate. They won’t be perfect. Reagan sure wasn’t.
Try not to hang yourself as you spin your lies with the truth.
Reagan was pro life. The congress holds the purse strings (however our RINOs in congress don’t seem to understand this). He screwed up with Amnesty; he believed the douche-bag liberals when they said they would secure the border.
I bet you love your Jeb and Cristy!
“Reagan would be considered a RINO today.”

And if it was found out that he regulalry had cocktails with Tip O’Neil, I think FR would be calling for impeachment.
