Breh, if there is one thing I understand, it is leadership. Jeb had none. I was at Liberty University when he spoke at my son’s graduation. It was the most friendly of environments and he could not generate any degree of enthusiasm from the crowd. It was stunningly pathetic. I wanted Carson (I still think he is an amazing story and a very principled man), I voted for Cruz in the primary (yack). And I ended up with Trump.

Trump is not the leader I want. But he is the leader I have.

ETA: When are you going to come hang with me this week? I am at the Grand Hyatt Washington. We are doing the House and Senate tour tomorrow. Pentagon on Wednesday.

Bush 43 needs to shut the frick up as he has no room to talk shite about Trump potentially blowing up the GOP when this is what happened on his watch that he refuses to take responsibility for.

Starting major wars with thousands of our service members killed and trillions of dollars sunk in an endless money pit, devastating economic collapse of which he enabled partially, more bullshite trade deals that ceded our own sovereignty to far away lands, allowed unchecked illegal immigration that enabled liberals to outvote conservatives, and big government bullshite like medicare expansion and No Child Left Behind, job approval 26% by end of second term.

After all of that, Bush 43's terrible job performance made it impossible for a Republican to succeed him, let alone a carbon copy of him in McCain who would've been his third term on steroids, and it paved the way for across-board Dem takeover including none other than a muslim sounding black guy beating their bloody asses raw.

Bush 43's failures led to liberals winning a filibuster-proof Senate majority for first time since Carter and that brought us Obamacare and all the horrors that has made healthcare in this country more expensive and less in quality.

His failures were so far reaching a GOP candidate (Trump) won the nomination by trashing the frick out of the last Republican President and it just can't get any more pathetic than that for Bush.

Bush 43 needs to shut the frick up and stick to painting his sad pictures.

They are really making a strong case for the whole uniparty establishment belief.

I love how Bush used to say ex Presidents shouldn’t comment on current Presidents. So much for that. The fact that he has trashed Trump in one year more than he ever has Obama tells you everything you need to know.

Navytiger is one of those posters that get an automatic downvote regardless of content along with cuckley and a few others but this pedo stuff needs to stop. It's nasty and probably unwarranted. He made a mistake with the pick but I certainly don't believe that he's capable of that. I hope. Of course he's a leftie and they're depraved.

But the GOP is also being fractured by Trumpty


That's exactly what Trump voters wanted. Unlike people like you, they are not establishment whores that support corrupt swamp-dwelling politicians that only do what lobbyists pay them to do. You can see that by the GOPe congressmen that are being voted out or pussing out & not running again.

And the dems barely lost with Hillary fricking Clinton (79,000 votes in three state’s with a 2M vote useless surplus in the popular)


That just shows how many fricking morons are in this country. I have to question the intelligence of anyone in the military that votes Democrat when the party blatantly supports anti-American policies. It's like you people are completely unaware that The Great Purge ever happened.

Trump trashed everyone, and the most ignorant portions of our society loved it. That's the most pathetic thing to come from the election.

W will be remembered by history as an above average President and a decent man, and I love that it eats you up.

You have to love the irony though

The Bushes thought they were about to land this slam dunk book on Trump, then ole Bush I gets exposed as being 10x pervier than anyone accused Trump of being, and the MSM now just wants them to go into hiding, rather than tout this book

Bush 41 was a good president, and did the right thing in Iraq.

Bush 43 was a disaster. But, in contrast to the current resident in the Oval Office, he had VALUES and never boasted about grabbing pussies or talk about dating his daughter.

Won’t argue the decent man bit, but above average President?

Even without blaming him for getting into Iraq we have the following problems:
-poor management of war and aftermath be DoS and DoD (not enough troops until last ditch surge effort)
-bungled Afghan war where the taliban are allowed to come back from the grave and we devote massive resources to bringing the first world to a place it will never work
-TARP
-Poorly rolled out social security reform
-ineffective no child left behind (one of the few issues Dems and Rs usually agree upon)
-Letting NATO set outrageous timelines for budget commitments (the 2 percent phase in should have been mandated long ago)
-the ridiculous expansion of nato (when everyone’s a member it means nothing, and Americans, much less the French, won’t send send boys to die over stuff that happens on the Estonian or Latvian border)
-border security (we shouldn’t be arguing about enforcement still, this garbage about settling everything with one comprehensive bill started when W. wanted to try to apply his compassionate conservatism thing to immigration)

W. should be remembered as a fair to weak president. Though few are handed the challenges that he was, his performance was poor.

Not a chance in hell, he is one of the most reviled men alive on the planet today for good reason.

His level of frickuptedness made me seriously question ever voting GOP again.

No they are not. They are traditional Republicans who are not Alt Right Trump Maniacs. Don't get me wrong, I am no fan of W, (I do like Old Man Bush). W modified history greatly with his absurd and damaging and unnecessary war in Iraq which lit a fuse to the entire Middle East, created ISIS, and blew up Iraq, Syria, etc. W should have focused on the Taliban, Bin Laden, and Afghanistan.
