“In the latest presidential campaign Reagan was cochairman for Goldwater-Miller Committee—and a fiery, persuasive speaker.
A nationally televised Reagan campaign speech brought in more than $150,000 in small donations—more than was raised by any other speaker or rally, says Walter Knott, chairman of the Goldwater-Miller National TV Committee.”
“Reagan, who didn’t register as a Republican until two years ago, is a self-styled former “bleeding-heart liberal”. But he voted for Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956—”didn’t everyone?”— and says he has been making speech’s on limitation of government since 1954.”
Good find. Goes with this reality!
Reagan had been a liberal democrat in his earlier years and voted for FDR four times and admired FDR.

Cruzertte logic of today, would have been to throw Reagan out and to the dogs.
Fortunately, people like nopardons and I refused to stab Reagan in the back. He won the nomination and became a great president in spite of being a democrat and really liking FDR!
