They would have no time for the actual Reagan (although in my opinion, if Reagan were in this political climate he would be just as crazy as they are) but the right wing fantasy Reagan, the Tax cutting, Russian killing, deficit hating, bane of all things government will never be challenged by the Tea Party. Fantasy Reagan is whatever they need him to be.
