Remember, Reagan is by no means a true-blue conservative. He is much more of a "populist".

Yes, he was certainly far more moderate than today's republican conservatives ( because the country's political center has turned more and more toward the right since 1980 ). But I totally disagree with his extremist economic policies, that destroyed the already poor american welfare system and the New Deal's legacy.
What I mean is that in the 40-60's, a Reagan vs Johnson race would result in a Johnson 25-points landslide, wereas today it would be the contrary. So, yes, Reagan is a moderate for today's politics, but certainly not for 70's.

Antonio, I know you are not from America and as such may not be aware, but for most of his life (prior to the 1960s)  Reagan was a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT, and due to the nature of this TimeLine remains a Democrat and is much more liberal than in real life.

Yes, I knew that. I found just a bit strange that he didn't change in your timeline, but that doesn't matter. Wink

That's really unfair : the real life conservative Reagan survives to the assassination atempt whereas the liberal one of your timeline dies ! Sad
