JFK was pro-military, tax cutter for the rich, extremely anti-communist, held strong religious beliefs which he was very open about as he gave many faith based speeches, was a deficit hawk, a free trader, and championed individual responsibility.

 
Libs today would call him an "extremist."

 
Both parties have moved far from their roots. Amazing that the libs in this thread don't see that.

 
Shit, even Bill Clinton would have been called a racist today:

How did I not see your typical knee-jeck reaction coming! ;)

Oh, yeah! I did!

You tried to make it about 'Democrats have strayed as much as Republican's. Perhaps so, however it is the Republican's who continuing beat the drum of being the party of Reagan. I can't recall the drum of Democrats being the party of JFK being beaten in a long time. Then the discussion soon devolved to which presidents would still be a member of his original party affiliation. I suspect JFK would have the same speech for members of both party's, whatever party one wants to hypothesize he'd be in, today.

So, now I'll redirect the discussion back to the original point.  Reagan, as well as JFK, stood up to the Russian's, our adversaries. I don't see much, if any of that with Trump and the Republican's, particularly with the Congress the article refers to. That was the issue!

I don't come over here often but WTF are you talking about?
