to be harder edged they were against the new deal program long after most republicans started with dwight eisenhower given up. ronald reagan was one of them. and yet he put, he approached it with a smile and long into his presidency people like his style. it was far more conservative. it was still true to some of the foundational matters like free trade and immigration. in internationalism that is now missing from the republican party. when gingrich came along there was a desire to be more militant still. in many ways sought ronald reagan as to pragmatic and they were much more doctrinaire. it was not even about ideas as much as newt gingrich would like to say i think, it was more stylistic. it was more geared toward culture war issues as opposed to economic. for instance ronald reagan antiabortion politics was a big part of his campaign, he never did anything about it. he talked a good game. by that 90s newt gingrich again they were more willing to do it. mainly it was about society. and just a sense it was a beginning of what we came to for russian with donald trump as they were picking
