Was George W Bush in 2004 the most hated figure by the opposing party to win

[Rookie Yinzer]

Trump is more hated than Bush BY far.

Someone mentioned The Young Turks, but even Cenk said 2004 doesn't even compare to 2016. A lot of Democrats I know said they felt 100 times worse on November 9, 2016 than November 3, 2004.

One thing about 2004 is that it had a HUGE explosion in the popular vote. Very important election.

Most liberals I know do not think of Trump as merely a Republican/political opponent - but pure evil. The Devil in human form. Hitler reincarnated.

In fact Bush is entering the rehabilitation phase.

I disagree. Bush was hated too, and plenty of people portrayed him as an evil war criminal.

As somebody who lived through the GWB administration, I find the left's recent acceptance of him to be sickening. All of a sudden he is an honest, decent man with bipartisan appeal just because of Trump. That sentiment would've held a lot more weight if he hadn't been used as the voodoo doll of the 2008 election.

The left is accepting him because they hate Trump that much.

Trump makes them nostalgic for Bush.

Their hatred for Trump is irrational and outright unhinged. I never felt that way when people hated Bush. Trump has unlocked something inside them that made them that way. Palin kind of did too but not as much as Trump.

We know.
