>>>>>"Reagan began his political career as a liberal Democrat, admirer of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and active supporter of New Deal policies...
True. So did Marion Morrison, aka. John Wayne. BFD!
I think it was Churchill who said: If you are not a liberal at the age of 20, you have no heart. If you are not a conservitive by the age of 40, you have no brain.
Reagan started his political change at about age 40, in 1951. Maybe as early as 1948-1949 after first meeting Nancy Reagan and later getting to know her conservative Father very well. Reagan said his first distaste for the Democratic Party agenda began with his disdain for paying 90% federal income tax rates. I'd say after Truman's 1948 election, Reagan never looked back. Btw, Reagan wanted to switch parties in 1960, but Nixon asked him to give his support to the GOP ticket as a Democrat.
Donald Trump will be 65 years old in June. What took him so long to become a conservative? You really think his political conversion at CPAC2011 was the real deal?
People need to wake up. Trump is a phony and a fraud.
Well said.
It is revolting seeing supposed conservatives here comparing a phony like Donald Trump to a genuine conservative intellectual and leader like Ronald Reagan.
I guess this goes to show that, even on the right where you'd think people would know better, there are still an enormous amount of suckers who will fall for con men like Trump.
I don’t know if his political “conversion” is the real deal. Apparently, he’s been a Republican, then an Independent, then a Democrat...and now, allegedly a Republican again.
