This is our Waterloo. Trump was dealt a crappy hand, thanks to Clinton, Bush Xs 2 and of course Obama. Carter didn’t help either.
Reagan started the turn around but Bush senior had no fortitude to do anything other than get us into war.
And even then he couldn’t use an 80 something percent approval rate to win a 2nd term!!
If you ask me, Bush I had “compromat” just like Roberts. Which is why we had to go to War with Panama to “get Escobar”.
