Reagan was UNELECTABLE. WILD. CRAZY. EXTREME. And he was BOOOO’d at the 76 GOP National Convention.

We nominated him ANYWAY... and THAT is what has changed.

I’m afraid that Ronald Reagan himself would not have passed the “Reagan Tests” that some people apply to many of our potential nominees. First, he was a divorcee and that same issue had - only a few years earlier - eliminated Nelson Rockefeller from consideration. Second, Reagan “flip-flopped” on abortion; he was staunchly pro-choice in his early Hollywood days.
