Wrong. While he supported the New Deal in the 1930s (and I correct my earlier statement in that point), as most of the country did, Reagan’s political philosophies were well onto the conservative side by the early 1950s. He endorsed Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956, and finalized his party switch in 1962... four full years before election as CA governor in 1966. And by the way... Reagan also endorsed Barry Goldwater in 1964.. hardly the hallmark of a liberal.
big difference between Reagan not being a liberal and NEVER swaying from his conservative values...
