You're right, but he was a Democrat who must have voted for FDR (4 times), Truman (my favorite Democrat for dropping the bomb), Adlai Stevenson, and in 1960 voted for America's sweetheart, Kennedy. These votes are all assumptions, based on his being a party faithful man. It wasn't until 1962 that he claimed that the Democratic Party had left him. Ronald Regan was my hero because he was a human who made mistakes and learned from them. He was also an extremely compassionate man.
For starters, Reagan was a Democrat for 29 years and a Republican for 42 years, until his death. He did vote for FDR four times and Truman one time in 1948. In 1952 and 1956 Reagan voted for Eisenhower. In 1960 he voted for Nixon and in 1962 Reagan joined the GOP. Reagan said the reason he quit the Democratic Party was because it started becoming to liberal for his politics.
