I was in the convention hall when Reagan announced that Bush was his man--and I was one of the few that was not wildly cheering and applauding. I knew that should Reagan win the White House, Bush would undo everything he accomplished. Reagan should have gone with Jack Kemp or Paul Laxalt.
CIA demon Bush probably told Reagan that the CIA has “six ways to sunday” to take care of people if he doesn’t get his way as the VP pick.
