Saint Ronald who I very much admire was human too and has his own RINO marks (e.g., signing the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act which raised taxes by $37.5 billion a year and the Highway Revenue Act of 1982 which raised the gasoline tax by another $3.3 billion, he also cut and ran in Lebanon after our marines were killed). Surely he still did great things and he made compromises where he had to in order to do these great things. However, after running and losing a number of times, somehow Reagan realized like we all should that winning is everything and those who don't win don't get to accomplish anything.
The national party has no business interfering in a primary. No money for these people. Contribute only to individual campaigns.
Horse vomit he was pressured by the Rats in Congress who threatened to bottle up his legislation if he didn't pull out of Lebanon. Reagan wanted to stay and fight.
