Reagan evolved into a conservative in the late forties and through the fifties fighting the communists in Hollywood as head of the SAG, and working for GE (then a bastion of corporate America) as a spokesman. In 1964 he delivered the televised speech which remains the best exposition of Conservative reasoning ever put on film. Then he cut his political teeth as a two term governor of the nation’s largest and most diverse State. A twenty year gap between being a Democrat and the even conceiving the idea of running for president as a Republican, and another eight years till he tried, with a solid thirty years as a Conservative Republican spokesman and then icon before winning the nomination, and some people want to compare Trump to him?
Before a Lord to whom a thousand years is as a day... you are ass-u-me’ing that all of note must happen of pure earthly foundations.
