Today, St. Ronnie and King Richard the Nix would be FAR too moderate to be accepted into the Republican Party Hierarchy! They would be jeered as RINOS.
Just one more thing, Columbo. Nixon’s “Southern Strategy” came after 1968; it did not help him win the election. George Wallace took those votes in the South. Had those blue-collar Democrats not stayed home or voted for Wallace, Nixon would have lost critical states in the North. Give Sirhan Bishra Sirhan the credit for Nixon and Watergate.
We seem to be trying to grow out of racism. Which is, imo, the reason that the Pustule’s base, baser and basest are reacting so strongly: Death throes.

Cue the trolls to tell us that Democrats are the party of racism…

Right there from the very beginning, especially with Saint Ronnie, the Alzheimer -(which is no excuse either).

All the more reason for the repubs to love St. Ronnie.

When Reagan said “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party Left me,” who knew this was what he meant.

Mr Ohman, you should clear a space on the shelf, or wherever, for another one of those Pulitzer thingies.

Ohman has never gotten over Reagan defeating Pat Brown for the CA governorship in in 1966.

And now the racist Trump Terrorists are shooting up everyone the racist Republicans told them for their entire life to hate.

We heard Reagan’s own words recently, and Nixon laughing along. Reagan spoke of African leaders as “monkeys.” I thinks he qualifies as racist.
