“I heard stories about how Reagan told people privately he was sorry he had picked George H. Bush as his VP.”
The man Reagan wanted was Paul Laxalt. They became good friends when both were Governors and they were cut from the same cloth. The country would have been much better off if Reagan had stuck with his instincts instead of bowing to pressure when he chose his VP.
