But none of us voted for Reagan when he was running for governor. Some weren’t alive then.

I voted for reagan in 1981, and he was quite the conservative. And he was able to convince a lot of independents and democrats that his philosophy, a conservative one, was best for the country.

And convinced, they came out and voted for him in droves.

I like that approach much better than the approach of rudy supproters, to find out all the stupid things the “average voter” believes, and pick a candidate that will best cater to their ignorance and stupidity.

I’d like a President who, when he speaks on an issue, says something I agree with, or at least something that does not turn my stomach.

Sounds like the way it should be done. Imagine that. Conservative positions attracting conservatives (even conservative leaning commonsense Democrats) and liberal positions repelling same. Who would’ve ever thunk it.

I did. Saw him speak too.
