I always liked George HW Bush a great deal. I'd vote for him today in a heartbeat.
But unfortunately, Ronnie hit it right on the head. His own party wouldn't even nominate him today
.
I'm reminded of weeks ago when Bush Sr. among others publicly pushed the Senate to renew a U.N. treaty on disabilities that Dubya signed in '06 and Obama renewed in '09. Bob Dole (like Bush Sr. also wrecked with ill-health rumors) by wheel chair came down to the Senate floor to implore support, especially from his own party that once upon a time he was their leader and of course former Presidential nominee (VP nominee too in '76.)
The treaty renewal failed, with Dole in attendence, with GOP Senators calling it a plot by the U.N. to take over America and kill religious freedom and other crazy talk I can't remember.
