Thank you - that's interesting - particularly the quote about making him uncomfortable.
I'm surprised that the shifting Overton window, which has left the Democrats far closer to Reagan than MAGA, (who are busy speed-running fascism) hasn't swept up more Reaganites, but that boils down to naivete on my part, I think.
Whatever the case, I certainly agree that the Dems need to move from institutional neolib/neocon positions to populist left positions, but that's the last place the party wants to go - even when failure to do so represents an existential threat to the party.
