Very thoughtful post.
George H Bush, the elder rode Reagans coat tails to the Presdency
and ended up being a one termer.
There would not have been a Ross Perot had Bush the elder not ignored
a large part of the base. Perot picked up what Bush left on the table.
The settlers in the NC/VA/TN hill country had an apt saying for the Bush family: “Ya dance with the one that brung you”. The Bushes have done nothing but throw mud at their base they inherited from Reagan while praising those who opposed them in the hope of a few bread crumbs from the globalist table.
