Reagan was in his late-20s, early 30s when he held liberal views. Trump was in his mid-50s when he supported both gays in the military and all forms of abortion, including partial birth. And 67 when he gave his gushing support for communist Bill De Blasio prior to the New York City mayoral election.

Not only that, because from his mid-40’s forward, Reagan spent decades writing essays and giving speeches extolling and explaining the values that genuine conservatives hold dear — not to mention his holding office for eight years as a successful Governor of California.
In particular, Reagan’s free-market and anti-statist philosophy was logically coherent, consistent over many years, and beautifully articulated. Any attempt to equate Reagan’s long history of conservative politics with Trump’s quick and questionable “conversion” would be risible if it weren’t so disgusting.
