And no, it’s not true to say that adhering to conservative principles would have disqualified Reagan. That’s a myth spread by the Establishment.

Reagan passed one of the nation's toughest gun banning legislation as Gov and he legalized abortion before the Supreme Court did. Also, Reagan was divorced - not a bog deal now but he was the first president to be divorced and this is the party of family values.

Ronald Reagan, for all his faults, understood that government is not the solution, government is the problem. He cut taxes, led an economic boom, brought down the Soviet Union, and did other things that were conservative.

Did he attempt to do any of the things you cited on the Federal level? No? I didn’t think so. On the whole, he had been a conservative governor.

Mr. Trump has numerous liberal positions that he still advocates, or did as of a few months ago. Furthermore, he has made comments that show he doesn’t understand that Big Government itself is the problem.
