His legacy is pretty much written in stone now and moaning about it isn't going to change things. Plus, he's dead....pretty sure he can't do much else after that fact. And demonizing the guy just solidifies right wingers.

And you are also correct, he would be too liberal in today's GOP. That's a fact that Democrats need to trumpet loud and clear, with examples.

Tell these idiots running today they are no "Reagan". Just cashing in on his name and we keep enabling it by getting all hot under the collar when they do.
