I would hold that President Reagan’s biggest blunder was Bush.
It is for sure the biggest horror to come out of the Reagan legacy, but it is way over my head to know if it was a blunder.
Ronald Reagan was no shoo in, his winning the presidency was itself one of the biggest political events of modern history, something that we never talk about, or deeply analyze, but if he felt that he had to choose Bush, then who knows.
Reagan was an expert politician, he knew things that put a right winger into the White House at a time when the left was in unchallenged power and control of all information, and he destroyed one of the great empires of history, was he right on needing Bush? Who knows.
