Romney says Reagan would endorse him because basically Reagan had all of his same positions and was an outsider like him.
McCain says that Reagan was “unshakable” and doesn’t think he’d like Romney much – he has a bit of a point there. He basically said that they both stick with their principles, which is good, but he didn’t mention anything about actual policy.
Ron Paul gives, as usual, the best answer – Reagan said that no great country that abandoned the gold standard would remain great, and also points out that he was one of the only 4 congressmen to endorse Reagan when he first ran.
Huckabee says that he can’t presume that Reagan would endorse him, but that he endorses Reagan because he was a great leader. All true – Reagan was a great leader, and there is no way he would endorse Huckabee, who is economically a liberal.
