Reagan Republican, uber pro-lifer (I had my own plan to end abortion, with JPII declaring the unborn Vatican subjects and Reagan agreeing to protect them, they did not want it because it would have worked), pro-defense, worked as a cost analyst for the Air Force. Left when George H.W. Bush, who was neither a governor nor a senator ran for POTUS, when Jesse Helms was too much of a racist donkey butt to ignore and because the whole contention that the doctors who do abortions were in it for gain rather than to prevent self-induced abortions proved false. I also ran statistical models comparing GOP and Dem economic policies and found that the GOP plan was always worse. The Dems may have been too into dependency, except people work their way out on their own in most cases. The Dems favor more education than low wage jobs and with Bernie, there won't be such a thing with a $15 minimum wage.
