There was a great deal of "Mitt Romney" in Reagan in terms of what values he was fully prepared to dump to further his own interests.

But, damn, i do love his son, Ron.

Sorry but silly questions deserve silly answers. Believe it or not, as a democrat who was an adult during HERO REAGAN's presidency, I think that at the peak of his mental faculties, he was still a dumb ass.

He always did do what the Right told him to do.

And I'm not sure that he ever had 'all his mental faculties'.
