Would Trump had beaten Bush in 2000 if he'd run?

I'm too young to remember the 2000 election. For the older people on here, how would he have fared against Dubya? I read something where he almost ran for the Republican ticket in 2000 and momentarily ran as a 3rd party (Reform Party)

Of course. Unless W tried to pull the "Trump has an illegitimate black child" like he did to McCain to get southerners to not vote for him.

Choir Boy W isn't as pure as people act like he is.

No, it took eight years of Obama to do this.

Probably not. People didn't vote for Trump because they were happy with the status quo political establishment. 15 years of war, 2008 fiscal crisis, and 8 years of progressive identity politics got you Trump

No way. Trump could only have won when he did. He was the push-back against ridiculous SJW politically correct social culture.

He was appointed by Americans to win the culture war.

This, mostly, especially the last part.

Trump built his political career in birtherism. He’s never President without Obama.
