There are moderates who are with you 80% of the time. And there are guys like McCain who can be counted on to stick you when you are most counting on him.
Sounds like he's describing McCain accurately.
Every one of these threads make me miss Mr. Reagan a little more than the last thread.
Especially with John running against the Ultra-Liberals Obama or Billary!

My question is: “What would Reagan think of a President Hillary Clinton or President Barack Obama”?
Not much.
“My 80 percent friend is not my 20 percent enemy.”
— Ronald Reagan
Good quote, Robbin, thanks for finding it and posting it.
Reagan would have supported McCain on amnesty.
That is funny because to those Conservatives who refuse to vote for McCain in November over Obama or Clinton, I would say:
Going over the cliff, flags flying, is still going over the cliff. Ronald Wilson Reagan
Reagan was asked to campaign for Ford but refused because he thought Ford was too much of a Soviet appeaser.
Ann is going out of her mind. I used to be the hugest fan of hers and can boast actually meeting her. However, in recent years, she has gone batty.
Too bad we haven’t had Reagan for the past eight years. He wouldn’t have put up with McCain stabbing him in the back. In fact, if Reagan were in the White House right now, a snake in the grass Democrat like McCain wouldn’t be defining the Republican Party.
He knows more than any of us about his dad.
He also said that his dad raised taxes in California.
I was one of “those” in ‘64(anti Goldwater).But voting for Perot ‘92 didn’t make things right.
Looks like your thread got hi-jacked by Republicrats.
The real Reagans adored McCain and supported his political start:

“Then we follow McCain home, where he was immediately befriended by the Reagans. As a war hero and Washington insider, he seemed to have an assured future in politics.”
Hard to say what Reagan would have done.
In 1976 while scrambling for delegates before the GOP convention, Reagan named as his running-mate-to-be Senator Richard Schweiker, the most liberal Republican in the Senate.
