It was Reagan who said to always support the Republican party candidate... Reagan choose Bush as his VP
That was then, this is now. Different times. As great as Reagan was, he took Bush as a VP. No one is perfect. Not even Reagan.
If I recall events correctly Reagan took Bush to satisfy the ‘eastern establishment’ i.e. money. I don’t believe they were like peas in a pod. That Bush would later come out for ‘a new world order’ I don’t think Reagan was part of such an idea to remove the exceptional characteristic of the USA.
That’s your answer? Almost laughable.
