Which GhwB promptly reversed all of Reagan’s policies and economics, because remember when he ran against Reagan he called it “voodoo economics”. Yet another reason why this guy whose wife said Billy cokenose Clinton reminded her of her sons! (in what way, one wonders). GhwB was the kind of GOP the demonrat machine loved.. not the least of which was the wing of the derp state that thought he was great (esp. with their budget). Remember, Reagan saw the end of the Soviet Union (can’t have that— so now perpetual Russia Russia, repeated over and over by demonrats like hitlery clinton of the uniparty).
And yes- it WAS Reagan’s coattails because GhwB lied like hell what he was going to do— and then he proved it by being a one term failure.
The arragement was supposed to be Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton.
Obama messed up that arrangement in 2008. And Trump messed it up in 2016. It was supposed to be Jeb vs. Hillary in 2016.
And he used W to fire Reagan appointees.
