Laconic, I voted for Perot and have never regretted it. I proudly say I never voted for GHW Bush.

Trumpnado, Perot pointed that out that Bush gave Saddam the green light then couldn’t believe “He took the whole thing”.

“neither got the Pharaoh is dead and heading for his pyramid treatment that these two one-term mediocrities received”

Quick funerals of the past for former Presidents are long gone -but at least his funeral plans are a lot more reasonable than the long goodbye John McCain planned for himself. We can probably thank him for bringing some sanity back to what people should expect. And thank him for bringing some civility back by not excluding Trump.

It was a different era. Partisanship was "typical" at that time.

For patrician Republicans, but never Ds.

I will say only good about US Navy LT George HW Bush. His devotion to country and to duty are examples worthy of admiration and emulation.

That is all.

You are right...Ronald Reagan set up the play....all Geo. Bush had to do was carry on with the best economy in the world and keep the only promise he made and he could not do it. Geo Bush was the ultimate swamp creature.

...and the country loved him so much they gave him a 2nd term. Oh, wait a minute! They didn’t.

Though the media is lousy at reporting current news, they are quite good at rewriting history!

Am I the only one who remembers the Trump debate when Bush Senior made the cut sign across his neck? Wonder what he meant by that?

It figures that Jonah Goldberg would praise Bush and eulogize him. Bush was a gun-grabbing, CIA-controlled globalist. I sure didn’t vote for him.

His bumbling allowed Clinton to get elected. Nothing stable in that. If Hillary were not such an incompetent b*tch we’d likely have socialized medicine by now.

It was during the Nashua debate. It meant cut the mic. Reagan’s response was epic

Nashua? Reagan. I am talking about a Trump Debate where Poppy was in a wheel chair and he made cut sign across his neck when Trump was speaking...
