I still can’t believe he lost to Clinton; it was almost as if he didn’t care.
The only reason GHWB got elected was that he was the VP of wildly popular Reagan. In 1992 after four years, that credential was gone and all you had was GHWB himself and that was enough to bounce him . That and his “read my lips no new taxes” debacle.
Politically, the Bushes and the Clintons were cut from the same cloth. GHWB had no vision for America. He called it “the vision thing”. Just government business as usual which meant more government and less freedom. He was a pure Washington politician. All he could see was more government. After Reagan it’s been 28 years of weak Leftism taking America down until the present anticipated reversal with Trump.
GHWB was by far Reagan’s greatest mistake ushering in 28 years of misery and damage to our country. GHWB brought us Clinton the way GWB brought us Obama. But Obama overplayed his Leftist agenda and has brought us Trump. Trump will turn out to be Obama’s only legacy. Lol.
Remember Perot played a large role in Bush's loss. BJClinton never got over 50% of the popular vote. That bothered him, heh.
