Herb: RRepubs Don’t Live Up To Name

Herb Huseland: I sigh every time I see references to the Reagan Republicans. I knew Ronnie back in the ‘60’s when he was running for Governor the first time. He really wasn’t as conservative as the present day RR’s. In short, he was a consensus builder. He could sit in the white house with fellow Irishman, Tip O’Neil, drinking Jamison’s together.They found a way to get things done in spite of their differences. The same applied to Reagan and Jesse Unruh in California State government. I think most of you can figure out what is different about the RR’s of today and the real deal.

Question: Would Ronald Reagan fit into today’s Idaho Republican Party?
