‘I hated what I was watching in the last two years under George W Bush’
I guess it was lost on him that the DEMOCRATS were completely in charge then???
BOTH parties are to BLAME for the 2007-2008 CRASH!
BUSH, PELOSI, MCCONNELL, REID, BOEHNER!!!!!
Then what is the excuse with Republicans in charge with an opposite party President?
The answer is that both situations have the same thing in common: weak Republicans, whether it was "compassionate" Bush who wouldn't defend himself, or Congressional Republicans who won't fight.
When Trump says "I identify with some things as a Democrat," he's saying he didn't support the way the Republicans were handling the crises of the time. He must still feel that way today, because he's running for President so he can decide how to tackle the nation's problems, not McConnell and Boehner. But he's running as a Republican, which to me means that Trump is rejecting the Democrat brand.

Democrats had control of Congress but not control of DOJ and SEC. I think that was what Trump was expressing. Wish he would have mentioned the left had created the problem along with republicans and that Bush went along with it. It was republican Phil Gramm that pushed the repeal of Glass-Steagall and contributed to blowing up the safeguards to human greed in the securities and banking industry. And of course democrats do what they always do, they lie, cheat and steal to get the loot. The two parties have merged in that regard.
Does Trump think democrats would have dispatched the DOJ/SEC to prosecute all those criminal bankers if they had had the White House? I don’t think so.
We have to remember that there’s a Uniparty there inside the Beltway. An R label or a D label is meaningless when the goal is to loot and control the money.
