Side note - I know Reagan is regarded as a hero among most Republicans. I had a conversation with DC about this a few months back, because he and I basically started off as traditional conservatives and I think we align on most platforms. IIRC, the more I look back and explore what Reagan did and how it got the ball rolling to events we are witnessing today, the less highly I regard him.

Second side note - I really don't think Reagan would have much of a shot at all with modern day Republicans, as a party. That needle has moved big time.
