Was Reagan sufficiently conservative?

Republicans are all pining for a new Reagan and finding that the various candidates fall short of the great man’s conservatism. And yet, as Victor Davis Hanson points out, Reagan himself would not measure up to the purists’ Reaganite standards. He granted an actual amnesty to immigrants, raised some taxes, and cut and run in Lebanon. Reagan WAS a conservative, but he was also a principled pragmatist.
