In Reagan’s case, he became quite the political careerist, albeit also a puppet for many years of conservatives; early on he had some leftward-centrist orientation, then changed. Reagan had two 4-year terms elected (R) as Governor of California (1966, then again 1970), and survived a recall petition. He failed in bids for Republican presidential primaries in 1968 (Nixon) and 1976 (Ford).
As opposed to TFG, a libertine doofus who probably could have cared less about politics or parties until he smelled blood of discontent in the water. In a way, TFG punked those establishment powers who put Reagan into power, when he thumbed his nose at the Rep. establishment after the 2016 R. primaries - wiped that whole stage off the map. Those never-T folks are still either wondering what hit them, or, studied the moves to refine them for 2022+2024 - a chilling prospect.
