The GOP establishment foisted GHWB on Reagan. He should have left Bush sitting in that bar during the RNC when old George thought that he was being passed over for VP.
The GOPe also foisted W on us. He was the chosen one from the beginning of the 2000 primary season, and the guy could only respond with rehearsed, canned answers during radio interviews while on the campaign trail. The guy was nothing more than a "lesser of two evils" choice in the general.

Must have been. I remember Reagan slamming GHWB on the campaign trail. What little I saw.
I was shocked to see GHWB in the VP slot.
Reagan came to the hotel across the street from the one I worked at. ‘76 I guess it was because I certainly was not there in 1980. Seems like we saw him get out of the limo from across the street and wave to the crowd.
