Even though Bush clearly beat Gore, the Democrats used the recount to bash Bush and question his legitimacy for his entire presidency. They claimed over and over again that “Bush stole the election.” In spite of no evidence indicating that Gore ever won anything, I once had a liberal PhD tell me just that — with a straight face. She was serious. That is how demented and easily manipulated these people are.
But Bush was spineless. Trump will gladly tell them like it is.
One reason W looked so bad was because he didn’t stand up to the media. And then he hired horribly weak press secretaries.
And yet Bush still won a second term... so much for that effort from the Left.
