trying to make sense of this...please explain which Reagan campaign promise or policy would cause a party that seems to be in perpetual search of the "next Reagan" to reject Reagan today....it was the "Jon Huntsman wing" of the Republican party that had a problem with Reagan if you recall, seems to me that Reagan would be the perfect candidate to dethrone Jimmy Carter II ..........I'd think Reagan's principles and ideals would be applicable and accepted by Republicans and many independents given our current situation.....
