Ronald Reagan was right......

9. Pretty much

Nancy was a lifelong Republican as far as I can tell. Nancy managed to get herself on the blacklist and Ronnie was the man to see about such things. A little quid pro quo resulted in Nancy getting knocked up and the rest is history.

I think Raygun left the party for the same reason a lot of other racists did. Once the Democrats adopted a civil rights platform, the racists became persona non grata and the Republicans welcomed them with open arms.
