I'm in agreement and as I think back to that election, who do you think would have been a better VP choice by President Reagan?
Yes, it's a "what if" game some 30 years later but a strong Constitutional Conservative as Ronald Reagan's running mate may have prevented Clinton and the DemonRATS from seizing power in 1992. Doubtlessly America would have been very different and 9/11 would never have happened.
No, this post is not from the Twilight Zone nor was it authored by Harry Turtledove. :-)
The only name I've ever heard mentioned was Kemp. It would have been a less balanced ticket, but people don't vote for the VP, and considering the landslide, it would have worked.
