Bush was born in Massachusetts, grew up in Connecticut and made his fortune in Texas but he also had a life-long connection to Maine. Specifically, his family's home in Kennebunkport at Walker's Point.

Maine hated him.

He ran third there in 1992, behind Clinton and Perot.

He wasn’t too bad. His biggest mistake was to raise taxes.

He was foisted on Reagan as veep.

Here's hoping Trump won't have Nimrata foisted on him.

Underrated. Think about it. The Soviets disarmed their nukes on his watch. Would you have wanted Dukakis in charge? Think rogue generals or even Vlad being in charge.

The presidency of Poppy Bush will always be remarkable.

Here we have a man who held the highest approval rating ever held by any president (90% after Gulf War). A year later he loses re-election to Clinton. Thanks to so called “conservatives”.

Not saying YOU are responsible, but so many people who “loathed” him are directly responsible for Bill and HIllary.

Perot voters.
