Amazing the gonads on this pus-bag when the media winds are at his back. I wish he'd had this much guts when he went and hid on his ranch for his entire second term while our soldiers and veterans had to carry the water trying to explain the asinine wars he started and refused to finish.

That man is a real scumbag. I also regret ever casting a vote for him.

Here's a fricking crazy idea George. What if the GOP stood steadfastly to our founding documents, not trampling civil liberties with shite like the patriot act? What if we didn't send people off to war based on b.s. lies? What a fricking idiot. He thinks he bears no responsibility for where the Republican party is now.

How did anyone think Bush was conservative when his father was Deep State patient zero? His father's allies purged Pat Buchanan from the Republican Party 8 years prior.
Im not sure the Deep State had been identified or fully recognized for what it is in the Bush 1 days. He fought a big fight for the nomination versus Reagan in 1980 and managed to leverage a VP nomination with the Gipper. In hindsight, it was probably a deal made by DS with the devil to keep a toe in the door. In clear hindsight, I’m sorry Reagan took him in at all. But at the time, it seemed like a smart political move.

And a (failed) attempt at blanket amnesty for illegal aliens.

W is pretty stupid, i mean the guy got to where he is by name alone, not because of his smarts.

And The party has been open about bringing in more People of color who share same ideals. They got 40% increase in Hispanic voters. Hispanics have NOTHING in common with Libs and many are realizing it.


Now the Q tards, that's another discussion

Not really, W. Bush garnered approximately 40% of the Latino vote in 2004 Reagan pulled in about the same amount as well. Trump only pulled in about 32-33% which was better than his 2016 numbers.

One of the many infuriating things in politics is how the Left, GOPe, and the MSM corrupt the narrative into something completely false. America First is simply looking at every issue first through the lens of what is best for the American people...all Americans.
Black, white, Asian, Hispanic, etc.

Re Bush. Read Ed Rollins book about walking into the White House after George, the Daddy, was elected. Most of those people did not believe in Reagan and what he stood for. Rollins teared up. Bush used Reagan to get into the WH and drop Deep State roots.

Yes. I chose not to say that, but it was not a fact I overlooked. I appreciate your bringing it forward.
