One of the root causes of the strength of RINOism in America is the 1984 election.
Reagan had to pick an establishment Republican in 1980... well, at least it’s understandable that he believed he had to have one in 1980.
But he didn’t need Bush in 1984. I’m sure he knew that. Of course, he didn’t want to look disloyal, but still I wonder if he considered picking someone more conservative. Who would that have been?
Anyway, it’s a tragedy for our nation that Bush 41 was VP in 1988 and the inheritor of the Reagan mantle. A tragedy of major proportions.
One thing is certain it will take more than a wise POTUS to fix this mess. We need someone leading at least the house or senate as well that’s just as wise. The nonsense of it beings someones turn to be SML or SOH needs to stop. They need to earn and deserve it. Loyalty to their oath and this nation should determine it.
