I don't think Bush "wrecked" the economy, but I'm quite sure that he or any other supply-side conservative is the wrong person to have in office when the economy is bad. If you absolutely must slum it and have a Republican, get a fiscal conservative. But any Reagan Republican will only take that soft economy and make it ten times worse than it would have been with a fiscal conservative in office. Better still is a centrist Democrat. They tend to be fiscally conservative but they also make people feel good about themselves and their future, which is one of the key pillars of a healthy economy.
