GOOD RIDDANCE TO THE BUSH REGIME
The nightmare started in July of 1980 at the GOP convention in Detroit. After negotiations with former President Gerald Ford for a coequal ticket failed, the party’s nominee, Ronald Reagan, turned to his vanquished competitor to unite the party. He chose George H.W. Bush as his running-mate and the rest is history.
Reagan was a principled conservative, an excellent communicator and a once in a generation leader. His two terms were extremely successful, and he left office with high approval ratings and eight years of impressive accomplishments.
