I have always thought one of Reagans worst mistakes waqs picking Geo. Bush... Ford would have been a lot worse. This article shows that Ford was willing to sacrifice Reagans election because of his lberal idiocy!!! Jack Kemp would have been better, Reagan had Carter on the ropes with the knockout punch on the way...he could have won with any pick!!!
I was hoping for Kemp as VP in 1980 but wasn’t too upset with the choice of Bush. Kemp had his chance in 1996 and turned out to be an absolute dud, even giving an embarrassingly bad performance in his debate with Al Gore. Of course, Jack’s brain had probably gone soft after being in D.C. for so long.
