Was it GHWB who called out for REAGAN’s microphone to be turned off at some debate setting? A jolt to hear such a thing, and Reagan replied loudly and calling him out by name, “Mr. so & so, I PAID FOR THIS MICROPHONE!”.
I despised GHWBush for the “Voodoo Economics” charge, against Reagan, as well. Seems like milquetoast compared to the mortal combat Trump endures 24/7, today.
It wasn’t milquetoast at the time. Considering President Reagan got shot and rather miraculously survived.
