George HW Bush. Essentially, a nine term President under Rockefeller direction. Oh yes, Bush controlled Reagans presidency, his own presidency, 2 term Clinton, 2 term George W Bush, 2 term Obama, ... and Hillary as global leader.
Exactly. 1984 was the last genuine POTUS election held in the USA.
I don't think Bush controlled the first half of Reagan's Presidency (outside of Bush trying to assassinate Reagan) ... he definitely made an impact (a bad one) during his second term.
HW Bush wasn't liked in general. I was cracking up watching the NPCs say "maybe he wasn't that bad" during his funeral ... only because the TV told them it was OK to say such things now (they did the same thing with McCain ... it was so fucking obvious NPCs were parroting TV talking heads that it hurt :-) ).
HW Bush had to kneecap Gary Hart to stand a chance in '88 (ironically, Gary Hart only had an affair ... just 4 years later, Bill Clinton ran ... the media barely mentioned his philandering and never made a big deal out of it). I know Reagan was insanely popular, but it is very hard for an incumbent party to hold the WH for more than 2 terms ... Bush took care of that by destroying Hart.
Bush was "lucky" to face an idiot like Mike Dukakis in the election ... I think the fucking piece of shit made his own luck knowing few wanted that garbage scow nowhere near the Presidency.
