I don't think Rollins' managed his 80 campaign. I believe it was John Sears. Rollins had it easy in 84 because Reagan was so popular.
Rollins is a RINO loving fool.
Ed Rollins had nothing to do with Reagan’s ‘76 and ‘80 campaigns. John Sears managed the ‘76 and the early part of ‘80 campaign until Reagan fired him before the ‘80 NH debate, replacing him with Bill Casey.
Rollins was brought in by Nofziger to handle the ‘84 campaign. Ed Rollins cut his political teeth under Nixon.
