I do have friends who are moderate republicans and who have felt disenfranchised by the vocal far-right of the party. I know many republicans who also share the view that the GOP should be (and can be) more diverse.

I'm old enough to have voted for Reagan. Twice.
Yes, I've moved to the left more since that time...but I would also argue that Reagan (like Snyder) captured a lot of moderate dem voters and independents. In other words, Reagan wasn't as far to the right as he's now being painted today. I remember him being skewered on the right for litany of things (attending an FDR dinner...raising taxes...saving medicare). Ronnie crossed the aisle when he had to and worked with everyone and anyone. He was pragmatic that way.
