HUCKABEE: Ronald Reagan would have a very difficult, if not impossible time being nominated in this atmosphere of the Republican party.

HEMMER: How come?

HUCKABEE: Because he raises taxes as governor, he made deals with Democrats, he compromised on things in order to move the ball down the field. As president, he gave amnesty to 7 million illegal immigrants. There were many things that would have been anathema. People speak of Reagan as if he was absolutely steadfast. He was in his convictions, but you have to govern in a way that is different that is different than the way you campaign.

Dear Huckster:

So would Honest Abe. And Thomas Jefferson would have a hard time winning a general election. (given the politically illiterate state of the US electorate.)

So what's you point?

Yours truly,
G.O.D.

I think you completely missed his point.

Republicans are going around touting Reagan as second only to Jesus Christ on the "greatest people whoever lived scale", yet as Huckabee correctly noted, someone holding Reagan's views and possessing his legislative record would quickly be deemed a "RINO" and would be unwelcome in the party, especially at Tea Party events.

Or maybe you can point me to a pro-abortion Republican who has a record of raising taxes, increasing social welfare spending, and compromising with Democrats who is currently beloved by Conservatives?

Pure BullBarack. Reagan had a hard time back THEN winning the presidency even after winning the Republican nomination because of the RINO's (called Country Club Republicans back then) in the Republican Party hated and feared him,so they saddled him with that bastard Poppy Bush in order to keep the RINO foot in the door.

Reagan granted amnesty to illegals already living and working in the country in an agreement with the Dim-controlled congress that it would be a one-time deal and Congress would agree to a clamp down on illegal immigration.

As is usual with the Dims,they lied and knew they were lying when they made the agreement. Now you Dims are claiming the amnesty was Reagans idea.

Reagan was saddled with a Vice President that was and is a traitor,and a Congress that also qualified as traitors. Given those conditions,it is remarkable that he managed to accomplish as much as he did.
