He’s made a million mistakes that would send an ordinary politician home in disgrace and failure. But these insults, contradictions and attacks only bolster his support.

I wonder if we saw Bush never defend himself that because Trump always defends himself, we like it?

One of the things that upset me the most about Bush is that he always ‘took the high road’. As the left attacked him with outright lies, he just carried on. He refused to defend himself or to take them down a notch.

And, by extension, he was refusing to defend US - his supporters.

His silence left us out in the cold. We ended up with talk radio as our voice. Not our elected leader.

I know that it’s not the president’s job to deal with all of the media clap trap, but sheesh. Every once in awhile, it would’ve been nice to have a snarling bear in our corner.

I *want* a president who says, “These people are immoral LIARS.” How refreshing that would be.
