It seems like Bruce forgot Reagan's 11th commandment. "Thou shall not speak ill of a fellow Republican."

Too much is being made about Reagan's so-called eleventh commandment. Fact. Reagan did not create the phrase, Eleventh Commandment. Instead it came about during his 1966 run for the California Governorship.

"The personal attacks against me during the primary finally became so heavy that the state Republican chairman, Gaylord Parkinson, postulated what he called the Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican. It's a rule I followed during that campaign and have ever since."

Reagan actually broke that promise when he ran against PresFord for the GOP nomination in 1976. Reagan criticized Ford during the primary season, right up through and including the GOP convention. Reagan was a gentleman and a good politico, he wanted everyone to like him, but when the chips were on the table, Reagan was a tough SOB. Ford found that out in 1976. George Bush found out how tough Reagan was in the 1980 campaign for President.
