well, Reagan saw the democrats as being soft on the Soviets.

That was why he gave a speech for barry goldwater in 1964.

In fact, he was staunchly anti-communist after the 1940 guild strikes.

Reagan was not that interested in politics until the 64 speech.

Afterwards, he became governor of california.

But still, having different people in the same position doing the same things is quasi-asb.
