Unfortunately, you can trace this back to Reagan’s decision to pick Bush as his running mate. Reaganites were appalled. Bush was the machine candidate, an anti-Reagan. Remember “voodoo economics”? Remember “I never got this ‘vision’ thing”?

That is true enough. GHW Bush stood against everything Reagan stood for and began proving it in 1989. Had he stayed the Reagan course he would have had an easy second term. Unfortunately Poppy's son is a bigger liberal than his Rockefeller Republican dad was.
