Testy much? Reagan was admirable all on his own. Unfortunately, the Party hasn't lived up to that. Not his fault, he tried to show them how it's done.
For certain the party been disappointing. Reagan accomplished good things, with divided government. There were once conservatives in the democrat party.
A Republican majority is NOT a conservative majority. More so in the House, but less so in the Senate.
There is greater dependency on government, than during Reagan's time. More for people to "lose," which makes the democrats and phony Republican's jobs more easy.
Nearly 8 years of free health insurance, and now Collins and Heller, worry about losing democrat voters-since their constituency votes thusly.
Not to mention "leaders" like Kasich that cannot say no, to government goodies and handouts.
