I ascribe his position to hatred for Trump and the way he namecalled everyone in the primaries. Trump lost a lot pf republicans because of it, including the Bushes. While we may have laughed and enjoyed it, many people were alarmed and don’t like him because of it.
Coach Lombardi of the great Green Bay Packers of his era:
“Winning is not everything, it is the only thing”.
Trump had the toughest job as a candidate running against seasoned carer politicians including governors and senators. He could have never won without merciless attacks on his competition.
Trump was liked by enough voters to win him the presidency. He was not running to be “liked” and lose the nomination. I attended one of his rallies during primaries. My first hand observation is that the 18,000 people who waited in 3-4 hour long lines to get into the venue absolutely loved Trump.
Agree. Trump burned way more bridges than he should have. The insults were too direct and personal. He is paying the price now.
No big loss. He gained a lot of Republicans for precisely that reason.
President Trump told the absolute truth in excruciating detail as a candidate. Personally, I laughed, enjoyed and was elated to finally have someone who could tell the ugly truth about people we all thought were "good Conservatives" who proved to us all during the campaign that they were just a bunch of $hit balls. Especially the Booshes, they are so low, they are such heavy pieces of crap, that they can't even float in a the sewage treatment plant of political effluent.
And lest ye forget that McCain wasn’t very kind to W neither.
Trump never had the Bushes
