In a 1966 speech, Ronald Reagan explained that he was once a Democrat. "I know that the bond of party loyalty is very strong. I was a Democrat most of my life, I know it is hard to make a change from party loyalty and the party of your lifelong choice without a feeling that you are being treasonable or unfair. I say to you, have no feeling of disloyalty if you have decided you no longer can follow the leadership of that party tonight because the leadership of that party has long since abandoned you."
