Reagan was a corporatist.

And a liberal. He said he was an FDR-era liberal. Everything FDR did was great. Johnson just went a little too far. He legalized abortion in California. He signed the largest amnesty in history. He ran on putting the first women on the Supreme Court, then he put a completely incompetent moron on the court. Why should a woman be on the Supreme Court?

"Why should a woman be on the Supreme Court?"

Because being "First!" is more important than being competent?

Reagan was a patriot first. Liberal? Hahahahaha! He was another Democrat that saw the light.

He opened the door for the neocons to take over the party.

Guilty, his overdrive for the military cost us plenty in tax reform in 86. The debt, %wise soared. 1991 was the result, in his defense. The real deal was that when the USSR broke up, our promises to help reconstruct the Russian Federation was reneged on. The neocons, the MIC came out full blast. Led us right into Putin. Could it be that we cause our own problems?

Can you answer my other complaints, above? You don't care for Putin? When was the last time a Western country had such a serious leader?

"Could it be that we cause our own problems?"

Rhetorical question.
