Donald Trump is now officially the Code Pink Republican. Or maybe he's the Daily Kos or Huffington Post Republican. How about the Debbie Wasserman Schultz Republican? I think that fits. Heck, we all saw it and we all heard it. Trump went full left loon on George W. Bush and 9/11, sounding like the most impassioned truther from the left. Did Maxine Waters do his debate prep?
Trump snarked childishly that Bush did not keep us safe on 9/11. Apparently Mr. Trump is not intellectually very curious about history. If he were, he would know that 9/11 was dreamed up, contemplated, financed, planned, and practiced on Bill Clinton's watch. This planning and practicing continued during the days of the hanging chads in Florida.
This is not to defend George W. Bush and his neocon nation-building fantasies and his capitulation to unions regarding the TSA and so on. I've been critical of Bush and Karl Rove since 2001 on these and many other issues.
But the truth matters.
And the truth is that the single biggest failure by the American intelligence community was foisted onto the CIA and the FBI by Clinton appointee Jamie Gorelick with her infamous "wall of separation" between the two agencies. They had their hands tied behind their backs -- thanks to a Clinton appointee.

Maybe it's not me that needs to move... maybe we just need a constitutional amendment that says if you're too stupid you can't vote. Sorry... get a brain and we'll let you vote.
So what's the reason the Bush administration never did anything about that? Did they care more about getting Saddam out of power than they did about eliminating the risk from the WMDs?
I don’t think Trump even knows what he’s going to say until he opens his mouth and something spews out. But he’s an entertainer and what is rolling around in his head and comes out is what would be most entertaining - in this case, he obviously channeled some leftover Bush Derangement Syndrome.
It’s curious that he doesn’t mention the fact that what really ruined Iraq was not the war, but the fact that the Democrats undermined the restructuring and pacification process and finally let chaos come back by reducing and withdrawing our military way too early. If Iraq had been stabilized and had become a country governed by the rule of law and thus with a functioning economy, things in the Middle East would be a lot different now. And that was the original objective in going into Iraq.
Aside from that, Trump’s bellowing sounds like the battle of the dinosaurs, with he, Clinton and Bernie rehashing their old hate-GOP fantasies from back in the day.
Wow...I take what I said back...You couldn’t find a country where the people are as smart as you.......
You know... honestly... I went to work at age 15. I paid my way through college. I worked hard all of my life and my wife and I were responsible and smart about what we did, how we lived and how we invested and spent our money. I retired at age 53 with zero debt.... and I am in the 1%. Honestly... I think there is a good chance that I am smarter than you....
Code Trump ping ...
thanks,
We can’t win anything with conditions sadly. My husband as many others were right out of high school and had never even held a gun. They knew the entire time they were there it was all show for the politicians as their buddies died around them.
“...should vote for another professional politician in order to stop the Liberal agenda.”
So the way “to stop the Liberal agenda” is to vote for a liberal?
Well, at least he’s not a politician.
Well, I am so happy for you...If I could reach you, I’d pat you on back and tell you what a fine boy you have been....
But the fact is, this is all a left wing nut kind of stuff that we would expect from Bernie and Hillary but not a Republican. Trump just plain looked out of control and angry Sat night. Might play well for you guys on here, but not with the public in general.
Now, why did Trump do all of this? I think it is all because of his visceral hatred of Jeb Bush. Jeb has gotten under his skin and now he has to go after not only Jeb, but his family. It shows the tenor of the man. He can't hold his temper. I don't support Jeb, never will. But I don't think we should go after family, no more than Cruz's kids or Trump's wife.
Now, for the final correction. when Bush left office Iraq was pacified and stable. It would have stayed that way if Obama had signed the agreement allowing a contingent of U. S. troops to remain for the foreseeable future. But Obama pull everyone out (you Trump guys must really love him for that!) and left it alone to fend for itself. It was Obama, with radical actions and support for radical Muslims that lit the fuse to explode the Middle East. Put the blame where it belongs, Obama, not Bush.
I implore any Trump supporters who will still use their critical judgement, to at least read the full article and tell me how it at least does not give you pause and make you reexamine your candidate.
This is conservatism?!
Good... but there’s no need. Your vote of confidence would likely not mean much to me. If you want to impress me... get a brain. Figure out what’s going on and quit being hoodwinked by a carnival barker. And quit bragging because everyone who isn’t smart enough to have $500 likes trumpy.
Geez a me, I am so tired of hearing and seeing Daddy Bush, Brother Bush, other brother Bush, Mama Bush. Enough already. The sons have never been the man there dad was/is. Don’t need anymore of his sons in office— let them stay in private sector.
well why didn’t Bush see them and do something?.. then he could have avoided the whole damn war and saved hundreds of thousands of lives.. what a load
Fantasy based on Trump's own Scalia comments and his support of Affirmative Action.
It's amazing how mesmerized he has his base. His Liberal past is nowhere to be found.
Since you don’t remember, it’s a waste of time to explain. You are set on your man, and will turn against anything that raises conflict in that.
Amen.
I’m afraid there is no way I could impress someone as brilliant as you...You are on a lofty peak and, poor, poor me...I am just a member of the unwashed masses to you...
Bush was an opens borders pimp. If it had been left to him he would have demolished the southern border. He’ll go down history as the worst republican president in history. RINOs of the first degree, the entire family. No family helped more to destroy conservatism than these NWO elitists. His gift to America was the muslim we now have in office.
