Did you live in California then? I did.
No, I was a toddler in NJ, but I don't care if you were Reagan's next door neighbor. Claiming that Reagan was regarded as a liberal while Governor is a crock.
I guess when Reagan delivered his famous A Time for Choosing address in 1964 he was secretly a liberal.
“Did you live in California then? I did.”
I did too (some) and I remember “Ronald Raygun” as being known as a right winger.
“They nominated him for Governor of California in 1966, and he was elected, defeating two-term governor Edmund G. “Pat” Brown. In Reagan’s campaign, he emphasized two main themes, “to send “the welfare bums back to work,” and in reference to burgeoning anti-war and anti-establishement student protests at the University of California at Berkeley, “to clean up the mess at Berkeley.”[
