Yes, the Bushes. I'm surprised everybody doesn't get that by now.
Please explain how Reagan could have avoided that and the deep state of back then acceding to his nomination.
Also explain the link to the Cheneys.
Following your "logic", Kamala Harris was undoubtedly Alan Keyes biggest mistake. I mean, Keyes decided to accept the IL GOP's invitation to become Obama's 11th hour opponent for the U.S. Senate in 2004. As a result, Keyes got crushed by Obama. After becoming Senator, Obama then ran for President. Obama then picked Biden as veep. Biden then picked Kamala Harris for veep.
So yup, Kamala Harris is TOTALLY the fault of ALAN KEYES!
Why Nancy Reagan Hated the Bushes
Nancy Reagan’s obvious displeasure with the Bush family began when her husband was almost assassinated by a Bush family friend. She had been heard stating “I never want to see the Bush’s again” by White House staff. In 1981, a family friend of the Bush’s was accused of an assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan.
It is theorized, the Reagan’s did not want H.W. Bush as a running mate during the 1980 presidential campaign as a result. Unfortunately for Reagan, Pennsylvania Senator Richard Schweiker did not win the nomination for VP that year (1976) and Reagan was forced to work with a family he believed to be his enemies.
Schweiker was part of a select committee specializing in investigating intelligence activities, including the assassination of John F. Kennedy. As the Vice President, Schweiker would have been a nightmare for the Bush’s in regards to the attempt on Reagan’s life.

It appears nothing went the Reagan’s way during the 1980 election. The Bush campaign saw to it that Reagan’s choices for VP came down to his two biggest enemies, Ford and H.W. Bush. President Reagan did not believe in the kind of politics that these men used and found the means of their rises to power within the government questionable due to their financial affiliations. It was a mutual distaste for one another that lead to the bad blood between them.
Ford was rejected because the Reagans discovered that Ford planned to govern the country as a “co-president” … Neither was Bush wanted for the ticket because of his attacks on Reagan during the primaries, including the charge that Reagan’s economic policies were “voodoo economics.”… Although Schweiker was a moderate-to-liberal Republican, Reagan not only liked him but felt he would bring reasonable valance (I think this word was meant to be: BALANCE) to the ticket.
Reagan despised people like Bush and other East Coast Republicans who were in the political orbit of Ford’s vice president and former New York governor Nelson Rockefeller. Although Rockefeller died in 1979, his influence in the GOP was still felt through Republicans like Bush, Ford, and Kissinger. Reagan felt the East Coast “establishment” Republicans took their orders from the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations.
