It turned out Reagan didn’t need the GHWB influence to get elected in 1980. I think one of the greatest problems for a true American who is running for political office as a Republican is the constant push and pull of his own party and advisers who are often so wrong.
One positive difference between Trump and Reagan is I think it’s easier for Trump to say “No” to these political hacks. However, for me, the jury is still out about Pence. 2024 looms very large for me and for America. This revolution to reestablish the Constitution over the feds and take down the unconstitutional portion of the feds MUST continue in 2024 if we are to recover our Free Constitutional Republic.
Prayers for this good man...
That is a depressing picture. We haven’t had a good president since Reagan.
I am sure Reagan forgave GHB for saying he was for a kinder gentler conservatism when he won in 1988. That effectively was saying Reagan wasn’t kind or gentle.
I can’t imagining dying and having to explain my last vote was for Hillary. Or saying Islam is the religion of peace. There is time to repent.
That picture is a microcosm for all that is wrong with the R party.
Having said that... LOL @ G. H. W. Bush’s socks.
You summarized the 4 years of #41 so very well. Thanks!
"An enemy hath done this."
Also, "Let them both grow together until the harvest..."
36 years for the harvest.
"Make America Great Again" is a campaign slogan used in American politics that originated with the Ronald Reagan campaign of 1980. Donald Trump subsequently applied for and received a US service mark for the slogan.

I wish 41 well. The Lord has His ways, so if I wish the man ill, I'd subtract from the intended plan.
This is only true to a point. If all of Trump's cabinet picks were anti-establishment nationalists like General Flynn or Steven Bannon, most Congressional Republicans would join hands with Democrats to oppose and block Trump at every step. This is why Trump also picked some establishment figures to win over the Ryan/McConnell wing of the party (the most obvious being Reince Priebus as Chief of Staff) to his side. I suspect that Reagan's pick of Bush was as much to get cooperation of House/Senate liberal and moderate Republicans as it was to win over Rockefeller Republican voters in the election.
GHWB voted for Hillary, Jeb and W. voted for neither Hillary nor Trump (meaning that they either wrote in Jeb or voted for Bill Kristol's little Mormon puppet Evan McMullin).
So strong was the Bush clan's feeling of entitlement to the White House and their allegiance to the political establishment that they were ready to hand Hillary the Presidency out of spite towards Trump. If anyone still thought that the Bushes were decent people, that should have been the last nail in the coffin.
Yet they had no qualms about telling conservative voters to support them, because any third party vote would just be "helping the Democrats." Apparently, loyalty is for little people, not for the royal family of the GOP establishment.
I actually always felt that Clinton was a better president than Bush I. He and Hillary might’ve been radicals in their youth, but it was a dog-and-pony show when they became older (and richer). They pretended to be leftists but they governed and center-right. He was a politician who wanted to be popular and liked. Think about his real record.
-He told Union bosses as he was running for president their demands were too high and uncompetitive and would not work any longer in the modern world; he did not advance collective bargaining and did not cater to organized labor. (All criticized by the Left.)
-He dropped HillaryCare like a hot potato when it became politically dangerous.
-He endorsed an interventionist foreign policy as he intervened in Somalia, Haiti, and Asia; he kept up the “No-Fly Zones” in Iraq and referred to Hussein’s “criminal” regime as being in constant violation of the UN’s resolutions; he attacked them for violations; he destroyed the Iraqi intelligence headquarters when Kuwait found the bombs in Bush I’s motorcade.
-He went after bin Laden and nearly had him assassinated but he escaped.
-He supported free trade agreements better than Republicans did. (NAFTA, etc.)
-He raised the highest tax rates but they remained far below pre-Reagan years. (Criticized by the Left.)
-He paid no lip service to “income inequality” which grew during his presidency.
-He saw record high job growth of 23,000,000 jobs; he saw record stock market growth; he saw increasing wages.
-He cut welfare. (Criticized by the Left.)
-He cut Capital Gains taxes in 1997 and reduced the “death tax.” (Criticized by the Left.)
-He turned the Democrats temporarily into the party of fiscal responsibility by slashing the debt and balancing the budget.
Bill Clinton was not a good person and I’m not really saying he was. Considering the direction the R’s have gone, he was further to the right than either Bush and far more so than Obama. The belief that all R’s are better than all D’s really doesn’t hold water in these days of increasing lurches leftward by the R’s. When you think about it, it should frighten people how further leftward we’ve gone.
Fox just reported that Barbara Bush has also been hospitalized, after George H. No further details were given about her condition.
Sad for the family members..
There was a day I supported all the Bush families Political views..that changed over the years..and this year particularly, they self destructed..
May George H.W. find PEACE AND COMFORT AND BARA AS WELL...
TIME TO LET THEM GO IN PEACE.AND TIME FOR AMERICA TO RECOVER AND HEAL...
Amen and amen. It’s time to face what they were and are (big government) and let them go.
Didn’t work. Better luck next time.
Good thing they didn’t have obamacare...they would have been dead by now. You know, give grandma a pill.
I bet you were making a point.
The same is true of free trade agreements. It wasn't too long ago that conservative Republicans were the party of tariffs while Wilson/FDR liberals were free traders.
Lost upon you, granted. Just remarking that you stated you will shut up, erroneously.
