Sinatra was, like Reagan, a Dem much of his life. However, he supported RR, and soon gravitated toward him and the GOP. I don’t know if he ever changed his registration.
>>>Sinatra was, like Reagan, a Dem much of his life
One thing you need to remember, is that Democrats won the majority of seats in the US Congress in 1980 and 1984, years in which Reagan won the Presidency in a landslide.
Reagan won even pro-choice states like New York, Vermont, and Massachussets in 1984. He won all states in 1984, except for Minnesotta. Many Democrats voted for Reagan in 1980 and 1984. But Democrats won a majority of congressional seats. The supercool-ness factor did it.
