I really, really loved Bush and had a “W” sticker on my truck. Then, Obama came along with all of his anti-American policies, and Bush didn’t say a word. I lost some respect for Bush from that. Then, Trump came along with all of his pro-American polices, and Bush starts criticizing him. I lost ALL respect for Bush after that.
I am the same. I defended that little punk Shrub. Defended him in the public square. I regret my actions and am seeking penance. Trump is the first non Bush/Clinton derivative since HW. He is no Reagan, but Trump will do!
1. He kept Al Gore from becoming President.
2. He kept John Kerry from becoming President.
3. He appointed Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court.
I still think of him as a decent human being, unlike any recent Democrat President or Presidential nominee going back to the 1980s (undecided about Dukakis and Mondale, before that maybe Humphrey, or maybe you have to go back as far as Truman), but if he can't say something good about Trump he should keep quiet. I don't think he has been as bad as other members of the Bush family or the Bush administrations.
