It is worthwhile to note that for most of Reagan’s life he was a die hard Democrat. He came out in strong, ardent support for Truman in the contested election of 1948. He supported “The Pink Lady” Helen Douglas over Richard Nixon in the 1950s.
He was for half his life a very left wing Democrat, FDR being for many years his idol. He switched parties in 1961 at age 50.
But had he remained a Democrat, can you see him climbing the political ladder as he did in real life as a Republican, given his charisma and oratorical skills?
