They'd rather keep the entire political system 2 party than see a CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT!

That is what the Bushes were about, unraveling Reagan. The biggest mistake Reagan made was to choose Bush, (the GOP party choice,) as his VP.

While a monumental mistake, granted.
I wouldn't really be so sure RR had a choice, as you implied. The GOP was then what we see, today.

Some things never change. LOL
