Big tent only goes so far. When Ronald Reagan was appealing to Democrats back in 1980 and 1984, he was appealing to conservative Democrats, not liberal Democrats.

Actually FDR wasn't who I would call a Conservative Democrat. He's no hero of mine, he championed modern day "depend on governement" welfare, and brainwashed people in believing that "government is for the little guy, corporations are for the wealthy". Those Democrats Reagan appealed to were FDR Democrats, not Conservative Democrats. Call them for who they are.

I did. I don't know where you were in the 1980`s, but it's an historical fact. Reagan successfully appealed to conservative Democrats in both 1980 and 1984. Those conservative Democrats gave Reagan his huge victory margins and became known as Reagan Republicans.
