Bush 41 beat Reagan in Iowa in 1980, but Reagan's "I am paying for this microphone" stunt in New Hampshire killed Bush's chances after that. Bush and Reagan always disliked each other.

Remember Bush accusing Reagan of "voodoo economics"?

Fun fact: In the 1960's George H. W. Bush introduced the first bill in the House to federally fund abortion. He, along with his good buddy Democrat Walter Mondale, used to push for what they referred to as "therapeutic population control".

Bush Sr always had such a grudge against the guy. When Reagan got shot, I was telling everyone it was Bush that hired the trigger man (as a joke of course)

The fact is Bush Sr was a one termer

Reagan was not only a two-termer, but won his second term with 49 out of 50 states.

I doubt we will see that kind of win for a long while.
