From what I understand, Ronald Reagan was considering Paul Laxalt as his running mate in 1980. Had he chosen him, the history of the world after 1988 would have been quite different.
Even Reagan had to compromise with the RINOs. Thank God Trump doesn’t have an albatross named Bush.
I remember this; Laxalt thought he was going to be the pick and then the wretched Bush emerged, apparently bc the Rinos put pressure on Reagan. Mark my words - we would never have had the Bushes as president unless RR made the unfortunate mistake of picking him over Laxalt. Other than that, Reagan was my favorite president, then Trump the Bush gang the least. I’d rather have Jimmy Carter, ugh!
