Did Bush do a lot of things we liked very much? I appreciated his Iraq War efforts. Many Conservatives don't. You set that aside, Bush was a disaster.

I never could understand the posters who love George W. but hate Jeb. They're cut from exactly the same cloth, and Jeb's Presidency would be exactly like a non-consecutive 3d term for W.

Will Trump wind up being a disaster? I dont' believe that for a moment.

I don't trust Trump and see many of his newly minted conservative views to be the sign of a opportunism rather than conviction, but I'm confident that he would be a better President than the establishment favorites (Hillary and Jeb). That's not setting the bar very high, unfortunately, but it is what it is.

I would say I’m a bit more of an optimist on Trump, but I do think you nail it pretty close to the situation.

None of us truly knows exactly what he’ll do for us. We never do.

Going in I think a lot of folks thought Bush was going to be amazing. He was, unfortunately. = :^(

It will be interesting.

I agree with your Jeb vs G. W. comments, but I think Jeb is even less capable than G. W. I may be wrong there, but I sure lean that way.

I can’t understand that either. Perhaps I was a George W. Bush Conservative due to the fact there were no alternatives and nothing better available. He did an OK job, but fell far short of any and all expectations. Now....Jib Jeb after one failed Bush Presidency, why on earth would I want a second? This perhaps the reason why? And, needless to say I would NEVER vote for a Democrat ticket. Not in this life time anyway. To vote for Jeb, is to vote for more bows and fewer wows
