25 years before he was elected President RoanldReagan was a lib Democrat. Apparently Joel Kotkin has changed his stripes too.his site www.newgeography is really a wonderful site with a lot of information written by many perceptive writers. try it!

I note that he now makes the points that many of us were making against him back in the day.

That was the time of “oh don’t worry, tens of millions of Mexicans will be great - think of the cheap babysitting!”

So it’s nice to see him grow up. But....the damage is done.

And it’s also nice to see that he noticed Tucson uses things like Xeriscaping to cope with low rainfall. I used to get a lot of blank stares when I said things like that when I moved from Arizona to California 30 years ago.

In truth Ronald Reagan was not a ‘lib’ Democrat.
He was a conservative Democrat like my own dad back
in the old days when there was such an option. After
Reagan became a Republican he often stated that he
did not leave the Democrats, they left him.
