Of course not. That's not the question, though. The question is whether he has any influence over anybody today. The answer is clearly no.

41 beat Dukakis ... that was after real contenders like Gary Hart were removed from the race over stuff we’d laugh at today sadly. 41 was anything but Reagan and, in my opinion, formally kicked off the Deep State as we know it. I think he only wanted one term ... and that was to start new problems elsewhere in the world since the USSR collapsed.

I really don’t think there would have been any difference WRT Kerry. I would have taken a frigging rock over Al Gore. However, Bush and Kerry seem to be part of the same cabal.

I am thankful we dodged the Hillary Clinton bullet though ... she would have been the death of America after Obama.
