Reagan was bought and paid for. He personally didn't have the money to fund his own campaign and he had to make a lot of Faustian deals, including the one that forced him to take GHW Bush as his running mate. He personally disliked Bush because he had no ideology but was an opportunist and only worked for his family, not the country, the people, the party, or anything else. I think Reagan, knowing his VP was a former head of the CIA, would eventually attempt to kill him made him resigned to that idea. After he was almost assassinated, he got the message and went along with a lot of stuff he found objectionable and wrong.
