Thank you for admitting that Reagan was a Democrat.

6 party switches? The man is unstable.

Your timeline shows Reagan was a Dem a few years before he ran for elective office as a GOPer. Hardly different than Trump.

Trump is more Reagan than Cruz. Reagan never carried his religion on his sleeve - and Reagan was married more than once. Reagan was more of a social moderate in that he said, "Just say no to drugs" and never believed one should "antagonize those living on the fringe."

Reagan solidified social security and put 100% tariffs on Japanese electronics. But more than anything else Reagan believed in the Constitution of providing for the 'general Welfare' by placing America first - not global corporate interests.

Cruz for sure is a social conservative, a religious social conservative. But Reagan was not. Cruz is not any of the above things that Reagan was.
