I never said Reagan was a right winger. Hell, Reagan never campaigned with a "right winger" agenda, and never even had a "right winger" policy while in the White House from the time he was elected in 1980 until the time he left in 1989. Reagan proposed an immigration policy eerily similar to Bush's 2004 policy, in 1986. Reagan won by a landslide in 1984 not because the Very Conservative base abandoned him, he won by a landslide the because he played to the middle and scooped up FDR Democrats, and he didn't have to be a "right winger" to do it.

You want to draw comparisons? I can play that game too.
