Okay, Donald. It is now time to shut up.
Because your popularity has remained high ... so far ... in spite of a few over the top things you said, you have decided you’re invulnerable. You’re not.
I like your positions on immigration very much and on many other issues.
I do not like this ridiculous and unnecessary attack on Bush. Bush never deserved to be impeached. He may have been mistaken on some things he did but he was never a traitor and always loved the country.
Your childish and unnecessary twitter continuation of the fight with Megyn Kelly and your statements like this may wear some of the teflon off.
I don't trust Trump and have no plans to vote for him, but the devotion that some conservatives still have towards George W. Bush is strange beyond belief.
Bush campaigned as a Reagan Republican in 2000 and went on to govern like a Clinton liberal. In other words, talk right wing, think or govern left wing. Not so different from Trump, as a matter of fact.
He didn’t deliberately lie, he based his decision on the info presented to him. I think it w as s true, and they took the WMD to Syria before we got there.
I think his answer would be that he thought we were taking the spoils of war in oil. That was what the anti War Dems were upset about at the time.
That’s what I thought, too. I thought Bush would be smart enough to take the oil!
As for Libya/MB etc., let’s see what he says.
So, are you for JEB!?
I remember this too. I also remember Bush administration support for "nation building" in the Middle East, for TARP, for No Child Left Behind, and for amnesty for illegals.
Bush's die-hard supporters seem to have collective amnesia on all this. No wonder Jeb still manages to poll 10%+ among GOP primary voters.
I don’t get this defense of Bush. Bush was wrong in his policies and a failure in his policies.
The only people defending Bush are those that rooted for him and now are too red faced to admit he was wrong (and thus they were wrong).
You’re right. I forgot about him registering as a democrat in 2001. Has he ever explained that?
Not true. He is a lifelong liberal who only registered as a Republican in 2009.
How are these scenarios are threat? Seems to me these would be win/win for establishment Republicans. A "bipartisan" ticket combining a McCain (or a Bush, or Romney) with a Clintonite liberal isn't so much bipartisan as an acknowledgement that we really have a single party that's been masquerading as two since 1989.
But how is Mexico building the wall when we're using our own money that we might otherwise send to Mexico to do it? That's like instead of giving me $100 bucks you take that money and fixing your door, then claim I paid for it.
Oooo, I’m busted.
What am I busted for, officer? Am I a covert Michael Moore liberal, a sleeper inserted at FR in 1998, pretending to a fake identity while waiting for the critical moment — the Trump candidacy, obviously — to unmask my sneaky freedom-hating liberal self? Oh, what a crafty and laboriously-constructed persona I have only now cast away! What a shrewd fellow you must be to have detected the truth about one who has deceived so many!
I have seen some richly stupid posts over the years, but am hard pressed to think of any that surpass yours.
Does anyone still not believe that Trump is a Democrat stooge?
You are correct but it will be claimed Mexico will have paid.
Also look at the money sent from illegals who work here home. That could be surtaxed before it/s transferred.
If he wants to strong arm Mexico. Then let the games begin. But I’ll take him at his word. Did you just hear the guy on Rush talk about how honorable Trump was in paying him the money the company owed.
I trust him until he show me different. The others I already know they’re week and/or liars.
It was the CIA that provided the incorrect intelligence and a disgruntled bunch of them that have tried to pin it on Bush ever since...
He loved it so much that he wanted to keep flooding it with illegal immigrants. In fact, Bush loved the US so much that he wouldn't even restrict immigration/travel to the US from the Middle East following 9/11. Evidently, W. could risk hurting the feelings of his Saudi friends and partners.
Everything I've seen from the Bush family suggests that their only love and loyalty is to their clan and to their political/business cronies.
I can claim I'm Queen of the World, too. Doesn't make me right.
Also look at the money sent from illegals who work here home. That could be surtaxed before it/s transferred.
And how will you tell the money sent from illegals from the money sent by people here legally?
I trust him until he show me different.
I trust that he probably believes all the stuff he says. But I don't think he has a plan to turn his imaginative offerings into reality.
Trump strikes me as an opportunist and a showman. He's not for any party or ideology. He's saying the right things on a lot of issues right now, but who knows if he really believes in any of it. Mostly Trump seems to just say things that are provocative and generate a lot of attention and outrage, whether they're "right" or "left".
