Bush says Trump ‘makes me look pretty good’ by comparison
The Hill ^ | 03/06/18 | John Bowden

Former President George W. Bush often jokes that President Trump's administration makes his own former White House team look "pretty good," according to a Republican source. The former Republican president regularly knocks the current administration, a source close to the Trump administration told National Journal, unable to understand why the White House often seems to be in chaos. "Bush is often heard to remark, unable to stifle his trademark smirk: 'Sorta makes me look pretty good, doesn't it?' " the Journal reported. "He's shaking his head like everyone else wondering why they can't get their act together," the source added. "He wants the guy to succeed but thinks a lot of his problems are self-inflicted."

Proving that no borders Dubya is the same fool that he always was.

Don’t flatter yourself, W...we had a chance to vote for four more years of Bush, which yielded...one delegate?

Just the opposite, pal.

You know what that’s true. I was unfair to say everyone. The immigration thing did open up some eyes for sure.

Everyone on Free Republic put him up on a pedestal and loved him big time as President. Wow.....we were really stupid.

When he started talking amnesty, the indomitable DC Chapter of Free Republic went down to the RNC headquarters on Capitol Hill and freeped the daylights out of him for half a day— post-hole diggers with signs about building a fence, signs that said "Dubya, quit ALIENating your base", "Gringo de Mexico" signs, bullhorn—the works. The building has a lot of windows on the front; RNC employees were looking from every window at the FReep, astonished and taking photos with their cell phones. Wish I could find the AAR thread.

My point being, this is the same DC Chapter that stood out in front of Walter Reed defending our troops from Bush-hating lefties for all the years of his ill-executed sorties into Afghanistan and Iraq. DCC was very supportive of him, but didn't accept all of his boneheaded moves wholesale.

9/11 was GWB’s high-water mark. Then, he was an inspiration.

Of late, he is making people like Martin Sheen look prescient. I believe Sheen called Bush “dim”

No President was hated more while in office than Bush. Until Trump.

By comparison, Bush had it easy
