Bingo. The biggest mistake Reagan made was tapping social climbing argyle cowboy GHWBush, who then dismantled all his work, in his one-term followup disaster of a presidency. And how we got to the era of Clintoonianism and their lap pals (including, sorry to say, mr.T).
Reagan didn’t “tap” GHWBush. Rockefeller & Kissinger met with Reagan at the 1980 RNC convention and told Reagan to pick Bush and if he didn’t, they’d throw the election to Carter.
