- I believe that George would have dumped Dan in an instant if he thought
- he could do it without appearing desperate, disloyal, and totally
- motivated by political concerns. The only thing that saved Dan was that
- polls showed higher negatives for dumping him than keeping him. Yes,
- George's first "presidential" appointment, his reckless moment of
- independence from all of Reagan's and his own advisors in 1988, came
- back to haunt him in a terrible lose-lose scenario in 1992.
