That's the difference.
Thanks for not thinking 4th-dimensionally. GHWB would have further enabled the GOPe Rockefeller Republicans and killed any future chances of resurrecting Reagan's legacy. At least with Bubba we got Gingrich's revolution in the mid-term elections - as temporary a victory that was.
We got a whole bunch of immoral activity and........wait for it....wait for it....
And look where we are now in 2016.
I'll stick with my 2 dimensional thinking.
I would have preferred the GHWB legacy rather than the WJBC legacy, one that still haunts America.
But you know what?
It only makes for great discussion and debate.
