That’s why I hate the Republican party in general and only love the Reagans or whoever else can come along to hijack the party from the “Old Money” and use it to blast government and free our country. Need more ardent libertarians who will not compromise the Constitution.
But the alliance between Money and Main Street is so uneasy, and it so often takes the form of Money basically blackmailing Main Street like they did in 1980: Put our guy Bush on the bottom of the ticket and give him all kinds of patronage nod and White House staff jobs (so we can control your calendar), or we'll do what we did for Barry in '64: stiff you on political money and give the big papers lots of negative quotes to work with while they ride your guy down.
