I have met Gerald Ford and had an interesting and enjoyable 30 minute conversation with him. Bush and Kasich are no Gerald Fords. They are much worse. And Ford was an authentic war hero whose service is not recognized as it should be.
Gerald Ford may have been a nice guy and a war hero. However I was so tired of the periodic, predictable Gerald Ford columns in the New York Times encouraging Republicans to reach across the aisle when the conservatives were trying to accomplish something.
He, or someone in his inner circle, should have recognized he was being used.
You are right, however, Bush and Kasich are worse. In my mind, the New York Times and the establishment party have moved beyond differences of opinion to evil. I should have recognized it sooner.
Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr., an alias, said his most important success in politics was naming John Paul Stevens to the Supreme Court. Nothing more need be said.
