I pass on the Bush admiration.. Nice guy but no conservative
In other words, he was squishy...and he won. Twice.

therefor what.... nominate the squishy guy
Look at who he beat Gore and Kerry .. Even a few of the genuinly stupid recognize what morons those guys were.
Personally I don’t care who the republicans pick the entire party sucks and has betrayed the american people one to many times. If its statism we get then lets get if full blown and get this liberty thing over with. Under either establishment wing of the parties its inevitable.
He did have the luck of going up against the two stiffest candidates in modern history, did he not? And look how close it was against Vice President Gore. BTW, it was Ted Cruz that bailed him out in Florida, I’ve recently learned.
Actually, they were both squishy, and I’d say that they went 2-1-1 (A photo finish is technically a win, but it just as easily could have been a loss) and both victories were courtesy of an environment that made them look conservative—being Reagan’s VP in the first instance and 911 in the second.
Moral of the story: a squishy looking guy who doesn’t look conservative may make it close after two terms of Democratic control—16 years previous to the last election.
