I disagree. George McGovern was a democrat in 1970 and the democrat Presidential nominee in 1972. Do you really believe the present day GOP is to the left of him? I think it is the opposite. I mean no disrespect by this but Ronald Reagan did sign a strict gun control law (Mulford Act), the “Therapeutic Abortion Act” liberalizing abortion in his state and tax increases while he was Governor of California. No Candidate could do all of that now and still be the GOP nominee. I believe the GOP is a more conservative party now than the version that had Nixon for its candidate in 1968 and 1972.
