One thing that really irritates me is that Trump says Reagan was a liberal and he himself was a conservative.
Reagan was a democrat but a 1940s/1950s democrat was still well to the right of most republicans of today and on the far side of the planet from Donald Trump.
The Donnie says all manner of stuff that just aint so...and so much more that just doesnt matter.
Abortion was something Reagan didn’t give much thought to when he became governor. It was not an issue like it is today. He let his handlers talk him into signing some of the biggest pro-abortion laws ever passed in California. Then he started studying up on abortion and read all he could get his hands on and turned into one of the great pro-life politicians who ever lived. As abortions skyrocked in California he said signing the law was one of the biggest mistakes he ever made.
