Good question, why did Reagan pick that turkey Bush senior for the VP position. Well there are many reasons and one important one may be that a conservative like Reagan could never be elected with out a moderate or sellout like Bush. Now if we remember what BOB taught us about Wallace and the strong showing he had as a third part candidate it would have been obvious that this reasoning was false. But Washinton DC is full of experts on everything and Reagans advisors sold the party out by choosing Bush as the VP. Few people vote for the vice president, Reagan would have defeated peanut head with a conservative as the VP.

Reagan’s choice for VP in 1980 was Laxalt of Nevada, a solid conservative of Basque descent.

Reagan’s staffers, the same ones who later took, “Mr. Gorbaczv, tear down this wall!” out of his speech THREE TIMES — he kept putting it back in — were committed to a “moderate.” When they suggested Bush, Reagan’s first words were, “But he’s a WIMP!”

But the pro-moderates had solid support from the media and from Nancy Reagan.

In 1989, Nancy, there was a little revenge on Nancy. When Bush accepted the nomination her husbad had obrained for him for president, Bush made a speech saying his would be a “kinder and gentler_ Administration.

Like so many respectable conservative dupes, Nanacy finally got it, and got it it too late. Sobran and Bushanan had the same problem.

Nancy came back from that speech asking, “Kinder and gentler THAN WHAT?” She finallly realized that the man she had sponsored was repudiating Reagan openly. He then got rid of ALL the Reagan appointees more throughly than a Democrat would have.
