“Now I remember when folks on Free Republic thought that George W. Bush could do no wrong”
No, you don’t. You don’t remember any such thing.
“And Trump went on to say that government proved to be a disaster during the Bush administration. So how do you square those things together?”
Firstly, I doubt your version of events. For the sake of argument, though, adults don’t have to “square” such things. It is only a child’s immature sense of fairness that demands such things.
No matter what Trump may have said or done in the past, he is the **only** one of the candidates of any party who even **says** the right things about the most pressing crises of our day. That earns him a lot of slack.

Nonsense!
The handful of things Trump gets right came directly from speeches by Ted Cruz. None come from his heart.
