I’m a Reaganist too. Do you seriously think Reagan would have been on the phone trying to swing votes away from McConnell in the general?
Absolutely. He did not support liberals. He said ‘Bold colors not pale pastels’, bought into the Founders words about enemies better in their own camp and said of those unwilling to govern conservatively, “Let them go their own way.
And he left the Dems BECAUSE they abandoned their principles.
So yes, I think evidence shows he would.
