True, Romney has been publicly treacherous already. (I don’t know about GHWB, I wasn’t around then.)
Reagan was my first Presidential election. Was 19 at the time. I remember being absolutely amazed by him, and his magnificent patriotism and unabashed, beautiful Americanism.
Looking back, Reagan probably accepted GHWB to placate the Party; he got much the same reaction from the liberal GOP wing as Trump got, but it SEEMS a lot less vitriolic than Trump.
They’re out and out psycho over Trump. Like the old saying: Flak = Over Target.
