Amazing thanks for posting this reality: The last time the GOP won the Presidency without the Bush name on the ticket was 1972.

“Amazing thanks for posting this reality: The last time the GOP won the Presidency without the Bush name on the ticket was 1972.”


Yes, it is an amazing fact.

But you might also consider that we LOST one election with a Bush attached (1992), which gave us Clinton the Philanderer and Clinton the Witch. The other Bush was so reviled by the population that we got 2 terms of Obama as the pushback.

I’d also argue that the only reason that the 1980 and 1984 elections were won was because of one Ronald Wilson Reagan, not his duplicitous Vice Presidential candidate; further, Bush 41 won in 1988 largely on campaign promises that made him look like Reagan’s 3rd term (which largely turned out to be a bunch of lies).

So, while you did point out an amazing fact, it doesn’t stand alone - there’s more to the Bushes than 5 election wins.
