Did this Democrat from 2008, suddenly change all of his views and become a Republican. If he did I wonder what was the catalyst for the dramatic change in views?

Maybe he’s a plant from the other side. I sure hope he does not get the nomination.

Does someone here on FR have the WMD revelations in Iraq from last year?

The catalyst for Trump’s views is the same catalyst for so many of us conservatives when we realized George W Bush is a Liberal.

Just shows Trump was ahead of the current anti-Uniparty, anti-GOPe curve.

Excellent news. Good for Trump. I got banned from *coughsomewherecough* for exactly the same sentiment, though it was a few years earlier during Bush’s Amnesty putsch.

Sorry, Trump, but the more we learn, the more we discover Bush didn't lie. Saddam had WMDs and succeeded in getting them out of the country before the invasion.

Seventy years on, we are still discovering things the Natzis hid.

I suspect the WMD claim was based on classified information that Bush could not reveal, yet, he wanted to use it. As President he should have either revealed the information or not used it as a basis for war.

Clinton committed perjury - and that was nothing
Bush used Clinton’s intel and he should be impeached.

The Clinton defender is a Conservative pretender

I would’ve liked to throw him out of office too. Bush was a fiscal liberal! He added trillions of dollars to the debt, and he ruined the Republican Brand and gave us Barack Obama.

Dick Cheney would’ve been a much better president.

This helps explain why Trump is so hated by the GOP establishment.

The rest of the story From Trumps Book:

Bush was a disaster for the country as well as for the Republican Party. Then he asked me about Barack Obama. I told him that Barack will need to be a great president because we’re in serious trouble as a country. It hasn’t been this way since 1929. So he doesn’t have much choice—he will simply have to be great, which he has a very good chance of being. What he has done is amazing. The fact that he accomplished what he has—in one year and against great odds—is truly phenomenal. If someone had asked me if a black man or woman could become president, I would have said yes, but not yet. Barack Obama proved that determination combined with opportunity and intelligence can make things happen—and in an exceptional way. He is not walking into an easy or enviable situation. As of October of 2008, the U.S. government reported a $237 billion deficit. The good news is that Obama seems to be well aware of the situation. His comments have led me to believe that he understands how the economy works on a comprehensive level. He has also surrounded himself with very competent people, and that’s the mark of a strong leader.

Now that we know they HAD the WMDs and Rove and Bush kept quiet about it and helped usher in Obama, in retrospect I wouldn’t have cared if they had impeached his butt. Plus, we wouldn’t even be speaking Jeb’s name now.

With that said, this is just another case of going back as far as they can to find something that will hurt Trump. Sorta’ like Kelly bringing up Rosie O’Donnell.

More of Trump in all his astounding brilliance.

Don’t you understand he was saying that to give cause to the GOP to better itself? Oh wait.. it was because he’s a businessman “wanting to get things done.”

People need to remember, George Bush: “I had to destroy capitalism to save it”. The Bushes are not conservatives, never were, so let’s stop pretending our guys are some how better when in reality they are just as bad!

Bush didn't lie about anything!

That's a straw man argument the left uses to disparage Bush.

The best thing Bush did in regards to the war, was do what 90%+ of the American people wanted him to do, which was to start kicking terrorists asses.

The worst thing Bush did in regards to the war, was to stop with Iraq and Afghanistan, when he should have wiped out Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and North Korea! And to show to much restraint when it came to fighting the war. Whole towns should have been made into glass parking lots in all those countries before we even thought of putting an boots on the ground. And the whole idea of “rebuilding” those hell holes was doomed to failure.

So if Trump is elected president and Mexico doesn't pay for the wall then should Congress impeach him for lying?
