But the hatred for GWBush was so great that anybody including Trump still would take the country the other way.
Basically, that “the other way” from Bush was Obama leftism.
No. Obama CONTINUED the Bush direction in many respects, more open borders, more diversity inclusion, more BS, more PC, and of course, bigger, bigger and bigger government. Obama EXTENDED the Bush direction in these respects.
“The other way” from Bush, the REAL other way, WOULD have been Trump’08. Just as it is Trump’16.
The ONLY reason Trump didn’t get elected president in ‘08 is because he didn’t run in ‘08.
Trump circa 2008 will NOT have come up with the “Make America Great Again” campaign.
In his book “Think Like a Champion” (2009) Trump like so many others was praising Obama. Also the uncomfortable assertion that Pamela Geller and the Muhammad cartoon contest in Garland, Texas, provoked the jihadist assault. .... Quite a few other cases, to show the country and the people including Trump that had to go through the painful eight years to get us to this point.
