So true. GHWB always considered himself to be smarter and more sophisticated than Reagan.

The Rockefeller wing stuck Ronnie with Bush and his potential legacy was destroyed by his own party. How much different would America be?

Actually, that was the GOP-establishment compromise. They were ALSO virulently against Reagan (go figure, right?), and the only way Reagan could squeak through the nomination is if they sent their #1 Spook and best CIA handler in to keep Reagan ineffective in certain areas.
