Do you remember the Reagan Democrats? Reagan got a lot of votes from Democrats (probably because he was a Democrat for a time) and he got a lot of votes from moderates.

You do understand that the profile of a Reagan Democrat is a socially conservative Democrat right?

Nonetheless, you always make me laugh. I'm sure a lot of Reagan Democrats crossed over because Reagan was once a Democrat, 30 years before he ran.

Reagan got a lot of support from people who felt that the Democratic party had left them. (Just like it left Reagan)
He won their support by expressing CONSERVATIVE values. With Republican leading candidates trying to move the GOP to the left, how is that going to attract conservatives?

You sure have a lot of nerve. First you spend weeks trying to trash Reagan's legacy. And now you raise the specter of Reagan Democrats to make a case for RUDY?

Hint: Reagan did not win over those Democrats by being pro-choice and pro-gun-control.
