As a contrast to the Bush regime, imagine a miracle occurred in the year 2000 and Pat Buchanan defeated George Bush in the Republican primary. Bush started the primary with a campaign war chest of 75 million dollars. It’s not clear where all this money came from, but it’s crystal clear that Halliburton benefited greatly from the Bush presidency. Imagine the American people seeing through Bush and defeating him despite his giant pile of money and his slick campaign ads.
It would indeed be a miracle, given Buchanan did not run for the republican nomination in 2000.
however, most people know I'm a fan of Pat Buchanan, I'd be pretty pleased if he was president.
