Bush blew it.
He deliberately blew it.
He was promised both his idiot sons would get the presidency if he threw it to BJ Clinton in 92.
Bush got sandbagged by the sleazy dishonest greasy dog squeeze George Mitchell who promised serious spending cuts in return. Never cut a penny and publicly laughed at Bush.
Ya.
They “bi-partisan-ed” him right out of office. basically “de-partisan-ed” him.
(Perot notwithstanding)
This really IS the definition of “Bipartisanship”. Where a republican caves to the Dems. The Dems then turn around and use that as a club to destroy the bipartisan person and replace them with an unswerving democrat partisan.
Bush trusted the wrong people. He paid his money without getting the goods. He should have used escrow.
