I was thinking this morning of President George W Bush, and how he never stood up for himself, not once, how he rolled over and played dead for the media a thousand times a week.

And how Trump will never roll over and play dead for the media. Not once. Not ever.

Yes. Supposedly Bush was “remaining above the fray” by not ever defending himself while half the country went around yelling that he was trading our blood for oil. Even though we didn’t get any oil for all our young people we lost, and the purple thumbs didn’t really do anyone any freedom favors. And then think of Bush’s cruel “See you at the bill signing,” over his amnesty plan. Which thank Gd he lost. That was a middle finger in America’s face. Bush was not remaining above the fray; Bush was just giving his lunch money to the bully every day.

thank “ the arcithect “ Karl Rove for that one. Bush should have countered the “ Bush Lied/People Died” with a list of all the Rat names including Hilly who backed Iraq. He also should have pushed more about weapons etc being moved to other countries to offset the “ they were never there” meme

I've been thinking about that a lot since Trump came onto the scene, and Freepers and others immediately started criticizing Trump for being overly sensitive to criticism and "childish" and unprofessional in his response to his critics. At the time, I gave GWB a little credit for taking the "high road" and at least giving the appearance of not allowing his critics to get under his skin.

But, turns out that was the wrong approach. Over time, the unanswered criticisms began to stick and even conservatives started thinking Bush was stupid and a wuss (for not fighting back).

It was like having Charlie Brown in the White House, with liberals and the media playing the role of Lucy. And GWB just kept lining up to kick the football that he knew Lucy was going to pull away from him at the last minute and leave him looking the fool.

With Trump, that is never going to happen. Not only will he fight back but he won't settle for merely a draw. No, he'll run down the street kicking them in the back of the pants as they retreat.

That's the kind of fighter we need.

“...how he rolled over and played dead for the media a thousand times a week...”

He did do that, didn’t he.

It was most disheartening to see him respect the media when they were nothing but a bunch of programmed, Progressive,
psychotic, junior-high-school punks who should have been taken care of in the school yard a long time ago.

Their psychosis is of that of the cosmic kind; irreparable, irremediable, incurable, and eternally adolescent.

IMHO
