steve hayward has written a two volume history of reagan and his time is that reagan rarely made it a big selling point with the public, at large, that he had a program that con formed to conservative philosophy even though it largely did. he had a program that developed some conservative philosophy but he advertised it to the public on the basis of its practical add vantedage. lower crime rates, lower inflation, not face things. i think a lot of today's reagan invokers don't follow his example. >> they are concerned with ideological purity and sort of i think, maintaining, you know, this standard. i mean he was an innovator? >> right. it goes to what ramesh was talking about where there is this difference between the tea party and the establishment. i mean so much of this is tactical and, you know, and a. . i. udinal. unfortunately, we have gotten to this place where a lot of our conservative standard bearers are the ones that came up with the ideas we ran on are much more concerned with these tactical fights than they are with, you know developing policy anymore. so it's, you know,
