Reagan was a Conservative. He wasn’t a RINO liberal.
He was a conservative with broad appeal...he would have taken a RINO over a Dem anytime.
I guarantee you not one person here would have said that the first time he ran for President with his record of having signed the first abortion bill in the country. He regreted the signing of that bill, but no matter Freepers WOULD have held that against him and pushed another candidate.
