You are confusing William Jennings Bryan’s definition of “populism” with Webster’s. Bryan has been dead for 85 years.

President Reagan had two different effects on Palin and Romney.

Sarah Palin registered as Republican because of President Reagan and Mitt Romney left the Republican party because of President Reagan.

Mitt Romney: "I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I'm not trying to return to Reagan-Bush."

Mitt Romney: "I'm not a partisan politician. My hope is that, after this election, it will be the moderates of both parties who will control the Senate, not the Jesse Helmses."

Populism is the path to victory in politics, so saying it is the opposite of conservatism is unhelpful as well as incorrect.
