If I remember this right his gut was saying Paul Laxalt of Nevada However “they” didn’t want two westerners on the ticket.

[I cannot think of a name]

As I recall there were several, including Laxalt. But of the list of Easterners, I thought Kemp was his favorite. Of course it was a little while ago and memory does fade. Actually, ANYONE that was an actual conservative would have been better than GW.

Although I hate to admit it, there must be something in the DC air or water that causes brain rot. GW Bush I always had doubts about, but as Governor of Texas, W was a good, very strong conservative.

Then we sent him to Washington....
