Back when the Presidency had class and honor

[@jackpow2004]

You mean back when the president and vice president were aristocratic white men, regardless which party had the White House. Well, forget about those days. Gone forever!

Reagan’s a cool dude. Getting his vp a birthday gift

[@vccstudents]

These two had a probably the best working relationship and friendship of any President and Vice President. Reagan insisted they have lunch together once a week to go over issues in the event Bush needed to assume responsibilities. Reagan wanted Bush in the loop at all times and said when he was elected they would have a true partnership and a true friendship. We've had nothing like this since.

[@malvarezv97]

They hated each other on a personal level, it's been very well documented

[@mrExcellent101]

I'm sure Bush was one of the ultimate insiders but when Iran Contra blew up then he said he had been conveniently "out of the loop" regarding that whole shitstorm. I'm sure he knew what the hell was going on, just had to lie about that shit to get elected in '88.

Reagan/Bush partnership was the most important of American History in the 20th Century.

[@retroguy9494]

BULL! In reality, Reagan didn't like Bush. He thought of him as an opportunist and what we would call today a 'member of the swamp.' In all Reagan's 8 years in the White House, they never had the Bushes over ONCE for dinner. Outside of a state dinner of course where protocol dictated the vice president had to be there.

[@nilsonjunior9551]

@@retroguy9494 If Reagan hadn’t like Bush, he never would invite him for VP. They had lunch together every single Thursday. Sometimes at the Oval Office and sometimes at the VP office.

[@retroguy9494]

@@nilsonjunior9551 Oh wow you REALLY don't know the way it works, do you? Reagan was fully backed by the party when he ran in '80. Specifically, some VERY wealthy people in the party. Therefore, Reagan had to take orders. In fact, even when Reagan ran for governor of California Nancy insisted of party heavies that they support them in the lifestyle they were accustomed to as Hollywood stars. Bush had wanted to be president and he was very wealthy in his own right and knew some of these wealthy men. Reagan was TOLD to make Bush his running mate. And yes, they had lunch once a week. To discuss BUSINESS. It was never a social occasion.

[@UnitedStatesGovt]

@@retroguy9494 we here at the US Government can confirm. The wives didn't get along for some reason. I think the men did but they didn't want to have their wives upset at them.
