I wish every member of the Bush family would move to Russia.

By far, the worst mistake Reagan ever made was selecting a vice president.

Reagan did NOT "select" Geo. HW Bush, the "advisors" did to cement the party to "heal" the rift between the mods and the conservatives, who loathed Reagan for his conservative principles.

So long as Bush was a Veep, he was OK but his stepping up to be "next in line" was a disaster - ultimately.

Nice guy, maybe the right one to head the CIA at one time but not nearly strong enough ("Don't go wobbly on me, George," PM Maggie Thatcher)and never a committed conservative.
