[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

It were W.'s f**kups that contributed to the rise of Trump.

[RINO Tom]

FF, always has been.

[Yank2133]

Funny thing is he was stumping for Gillespie...

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

Bush bullied gays to get better conservative turnout in 2004. He was the original king of the deplorables.

How much good will it do anyone to continue crucifying the Weimar Republic?

Hardly "original".

[Santander]

Plus, he attacked John McCain in ways that makes Trump's attacks look like playful teasing.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Eh.... Bush is still a massive HP. He can take this and shove it.

[mvd10]

Yes we do

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I'm surprised the Trump Derangement Syndrome going around here hasn't gotten you feverishly pawing for Dubya. Kudos.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Bush has been out of office for eight and a half years, and your still blaming Bush

This is pretty ironic given Republicans actions the last 8 years.

We're talking about longterm damage, so yes. And it's amazing some people are still in denial about this.

Obama did for about 6 years straight.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Yes we do

Amen.  FF

Yup.

R's not owning up to their **** ups in the 2000s is still a major problem. And it is even worse since they are still pushing the same brain dead policies.

[Inmate Trump]

I would take a 3rd (and 4th) Dubya term rather than have one more day of Trump.

[Yank2133]

Disagree.

Dubya's admin. was terrible, but a lot more competent then Trump's admin. A ton of terrible bills would be getting passed if Dubya was president at the moment, which is a disaster for progressives.

[publicunofficial]

Should be in the Hague


Also I've discovered there's a certain type of liberal that seems to honestly believe George W Bush is a better person, at a fundamental level, than Bernie Sanders.

There are hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis that would likely disagree...

[Pyro]

Oh, give me a break.

[Blackacre]

I might think differently in 2 years, but given the choice between taking Bush back and keeping Trump, I'd keep Trump in a heartbeat.

Bush successfully lied us into war. He passed a series of god-awful tax cuts and deregulations that continue to have economic ramifications. He bullied the LGBT community to get elected in 2004, not to mention the swift-boating of John Kerry. He completely messed up a hurricane response and destroyed our image in the world.

Of those things, Trump has replicated one or two.

Bush is a better person than Donald Trump, with his lack of sexual assaults and superior temperament, but he's more dangerous. It's the same reason I don't want Mike Pence as President. Mike Pence is a smarter, midwestern version of George W. Bush.

The only advantage Bush has over Trump is that Bush's evangelicals were mildly better than Trump's alt-right base. But still, yeah, go away Bush, we don't want you.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Bush was one of the worst Presidents in American history.  The fact that Trump is infinitely worse has nothing to do with Bush and everything to do with the fact that less than a year into his term, Trump is already giving James Buchanan serious competition for being literally the worst President in American history.

[darklordoftech]

Dubya = stopped clock, and you know what they say about stopped clocks.

And now a lot of revisionists, too embarassed to keep supporting him act like his main flaw is his failure to deport 11 million and expanding medicare.
