Politicians change their spots all the time. Reagan was a liberal Democrat who took more than 10 years to change his views. Of course there are ideologues like Pelosi and Waxman, whose vuiews are the same as they were forty years ago.

Politicians going from support of hardcore liberals to Rightwing presidential candidates are not to be trusted. Ronald Reagan was never close to a radical lib as a democrat and is famously quoted as saying that the Democrat Party left him...that was due to their encroaching liberalism.

Your opinion and vote is your own for whatever reasons you choose. But can you honestly say that you actually “trust” a pol that swung so far? Especially when his record since in office to date shows he’s no solid conservative?

An open border supporting speech IN MEXICO?

Trying to force a dangerous drug that has resulted in serious adverse reactions on teen girls over parental wishes?

Allowing dangerous Mexican trucks/drivers on American highways?

I cannot support that kind of man.

Reagan quit the dim party well before it became so evil... that was 1962... all of these other dims had been dims during the time that the party slammed hard left and started being pro abortion and pro marxist and pro racists and pro wealth redistribution... and those “others” were lapping it up and proud to be a part of the party of the ass. They ignored Reagan's warnings... and as in so many cases... switched parties for political gain... the king at this tactic... ARLEN SPECTER.

Reagan was a liberal Democrat...

Democrat, yes. Liberal? I don't think so. Not by a long stretch.
