And Reagan took GHW Bush as his VP, the very definition of “Establishment” in 1980. Trump, despite that statement, is as anti-establishment as they come. Just look at how the GOPe hates and fears him - that is only possible if he is not one of them.
Trump is a relative newcomer to politics. Do an analysis of Reagan in 1960, and see if you come up with a past at that point in time as pure as the driven snow from the Conservative P.O.V. - guaranteed you won’t. The point is that no one is perfect, including from the ideological standpoint. We are dealing with men, not angels. Trump is certainly far from perfect... but so is Cruz.
My default position is that anyone appearing on the stage at any Republican debate is leagues ahead of Hillary or Sanders - so why don’t we all stop tearing down fellow Republicans, as Reagan urged us to do?

I disagree. There are Republicans worse than Hitlery and Sanders such as Sen Corker and Alexander and Gov Haslam.
