They also forget how upset the Right was with Reagan for being so chummy with Gorbachev.

Precisely. Really, it’s the idea of Reagan. The guy who nearly won all 50 states that they love not the actual man. The actual man was and I think would disappoint them even more today since they;ve grown more puritanical. What they don’t get though is when they try to emulate Reagan is that Reagan for all my faults with him was a guy who projected optimism. Their guys especially their current frontrunners Rand Paul especially comes to mind are negative whiners.
