If Shrub had REALLY wanted to keep Zero out of the White House, he could’ve done it. He certainly did nothing to keep McQueeg away from the nomination. He left no one behind to continue the fight. I watched him closely in the last 2 years when he lost Congress. He was happier with the Stalinazis in charge than with the GOP.
This goes back to ultimately being Reagan’s greatest error in picking his father to be VP. If he wanted to put Texas in his column, he could’ve chosen ex-Gov. John Connally. Sen. Laxalt should’ve been his running mate. Reagan and then Laxalt would’ve been President until 1997, and we could’ve stomped the left into the ground by then.
McQueeg was next in line because he let Dubya get the nomination in 2000, just like Hillary was next in line because she let O get the nomination in 2008. In the political cycle, very often they switch off every eight years. But notice that just like you can argued that Dubya brought ODumbo to power, so, too, it can be argued that ODumbo brought Trump to power. I don’t see why it’s so urgent to rehabilitate Dubya. He’s time has come and gone. He had two terms. Now he’s making an ass of himself, and committing the unforgivable sin for an ex-President, and undermining a President from his own party. That’s avada cadavra unforgivable. Screw him.
“Sen. Laxalt should’ve been his running mate. Reagan and then Laxalt would’ve been President until 1997, and we could’ve stomped the left into the ground by then.”
One of the great missed opportunities in American history.
