You are completely misguided about Reagan, Johnny.

Do a little research before you spout nonsense.

As CalGov he made more than a few RINO compromises. As POTUS, he championed Ayn Rand and Adam Smith - both LIBERTARIANS.

Reagan remains the best POTUS of my lifetime. (I’m 61). You would not vote for him today because he’s not the pure conservative you imagine yourself to be.

I surmise that you really don’t know what you re talking about.

"If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals–if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is." -- Ronald Reagan, 1975, Reason Magazine.

Oh... I think I know what I'm talking about.

There's a difference between a conservative that makes a mistake that he admits, and just caving to the statists.

I'm not looking for purity. That's a lie spread by liberal republicans that were embarrassed they nominated someone that didn't match their party platform at all...

It's long-term, not short term.

Liberal republicans must be politically destroyed.
