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.
He was so popular that his rather boring and uninspiring vice president was elected in 1988 as a third Reagan term. Yet Bush was nothing like Ronald Reagan. He believed in a “new world order,” military adventurism and raising taxes.
Bush was also an elitist who cared little for average Americans. His indifference was on perfect display in the 1992 presidential debate when he was caught looking at his watch, wondering when the “insufferable” questioning would end.

The Bush wing of the Republican Party never forgave Trump for winning and embarrassing “low energy” Jeb. Their supporters became part of the disgraceful “Never Trump” movement and worked fervently to support the “Russia collusion” witch hunt and all the other unhinged attempts to stop Trump.
A major supporter of these efforts was U.S. Senator Mitt Romney, R-Utah, who despises Trump. Romney championed the impeachment hoaxes against Trump and was constantly in the media bashing the president.---
Yet his anti-Trump agenda became increasingly unpopular back home in Utah. After seeing disastrous poll results, Romney declared this week that he would not run for re-election in 2024.
It took Ronald Reagan years of struggle to take control of the Republican Party. Similarly, it has not been easy for President Trump. However, Americans are beginning to understand the reprehensible ways Trump and his supporters, like Paxton, have been attacked.
It is starting to backfire on these powerful kingmakers, and it is a beautiful thing to watch.
