The "Wimp factor"? Reagan not endorsing his own VP for President till AFTER he won the primaries?
Then the economy was doing too good for the GOPers to go for "Old" Dole?
Total disgrace. Their own parties ridiculed them.
Granted, Clinton was dubbed a "Republican in disguise" prior to his run, but was that truly a legit excuse for the base to vote against Bush or for that nutjob, Perot?
That's not to forget - as many pretend to have - that such talk circulated about Trump for years, including 2016 and after, and that sure hasn't swayed the minions.
Yes, Clinton was excused, by ALL the slimebags who voted for him, regardless of which of the two twin parties they owned a membership card to.
