Amen!
Bush was the worst president in the last 50 years.
Ditto. As I look back on the presidential votes I cast from 1996 through 2012, all were losers (Dole) or as bad or possibly worse than the alternative (Bush, McCain, Mittens). S.E. Cupp is Uniparty to the core.
At some point during Youngers second term, I just couldnt get the math to add up any more, and I quit believing that we were America, and that Bush was what I thought he was.
This blew my mind in a deeply cognitive dissonant, this cant be happening kinda way.
For the first time, I began to understand how my peaceful German ancestors could have gone postal with Hitler, something that never made sense before.
And then obama happened...
And then Hillary for President happened...
And then, Thank You, God, POTUS Trump happened!
But, when I take a loooong look in our rear view mirror, this road appears to come out of the Bushes.
Jefferson said as much: "All experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
Trump would have never occurred without the prior 28 years of suffering. Would the US ever had declared independence if GB was fair? Americans had to see for themselves the direction the country was taking, with the chance of losing the very liberty they had enjoyed for over 200 years, before movement took place.
We are here at this point in time for one reason, and one reason only.
