George W Bush hit his peak performance as a college cheerleader.
This is a guy who never had to fight for himself, as his fathers status just cleared the way. If he could have defended himself, as Trump has, many of his policies could have been a success and viewed as such. But he let people like Ted Kennedy run his name through the dirt. Trump would have slammed Teddy’s face in the dirt.
I think that was why Trump is so esteemed. Bush just rope-a-doped. Trump attacked 24/7.
