Businessman and "Apprentice" television star Donald Trump blasted President George Bush today, calling him "probably the worst president in the history of the United States," and blaming his 2004 victory on the Democrat ticket. Appearing on CNN's "Situation Room," Trump was asked by host Wolfe Blitzer his opinion of Democrat presidential candidate John Edwards. "I don't know him," Trump answered. "People like him. I know people that like him very much, but I really don't know him." Trump went on to say that Edward's experience as John Kerry's 2004 running mate was a negative in his estimation. "Well, I think that's a huge negative, because that was a shame that that race was lost, because look what we have right now," Trump said. "It's a disaster. So, you know, I would probably be inclined not to like him on the basis that he lost an election that should have been won. That election should have been won." Trump noted that the blame fell on Kerry as well. "He's a friend of mine. But I'm so upset that he blew it," he said. "I think Bush is probably the worst president in the history of the United States. And I just don't understand how they could have lost that election." The entire transcript of Trump's interview with Blitzer can be read here.Trump: Bush probably worst U.S. president

When you put it that way...Trump sounds pretty damn good.
Name me on President that has secured the border.. At least he didn’t sign the amnesty bill like Reagan did.
A couple possibilities:
A. He’s an opportunist.
B. He doesn’t speak until he knows something...and just recently got a hold of that information.
C. Both
“Ill wait to see if he runs and what his issues are.. Fact is Trump is more of a Conservative on more than a few major issues that Bush was/is”

Exactly! Bush was a “compassionate conservative”, what ever the hell that means and he allowed the libtards and media to set the agenda. He never fought back, allowed a trillion dollar drug fiasco become law, and unleashed other big government burdens on the citizens. Let’s not go overboard and rewrite history, he was a major failure in a lot of things and he wasn’t a CONSERVATIVE, (bears repeating).
The thing I like about Trump RIGHT NOW is he’s doing this country a service by calling out Obama and making things dicey for him, NO ONE else seems to have the knack or the testicular fortitude to step up to the plate right now. You people can beat up on Trump all you want but I thought it was great that he said last week that Obama “kisses everyone’s ass”, that’s something NO ONE would have the guts to say, and Trump can get away with saying it. Good for him!
Medicare part D?
Farm subsidies?
The border?
lower deficits...compared to what? Bush spent us to oblivion...you have lost perspective and are rationalizing what we had under Bush because you think it is better than today.
You are either a progressive or just smoking crack...
Bush and Obama should be sharing a cell.
Welcome to Free Republic....maybe.
Well Said!
Beck thinks someone bringing up the requirements of Our Constitution for president and our present one is lacking those requirements and the courts won’t touch it and he has spent millions to hide his records and Beck considers him a loon? What does that make Beck?
I believe our military, specifically, jailed Col Lakin is very much appreciative of Trump taking this on, as well as every American should unless they enjoy have a conman as president. Leave his possible presidency run for next year - let’s get what we can from Trump on this one. If we combine the two - this major issue will be lost, IMO.

The border!!! We have a winner....8 years and what did Bush do? NOTHING! “Big government Bush”, Conservative??? LMAO!
“Hell be a regular guest on the VIEW now that hes attacked Bush.”
Note that the article is from 2007. Even though he may still feel the same way about Bush, his quote is dated.
Trump noted that the blame fell on Kerry as well.
“He’s a friend of mine. But I’m so upset that he blew it,” he said.
*************************
That is actually the most damning thing I have seen against Trump. However, I find it very hard to believe that anyone is actually friends with Lurch.
Bzzzzzt! You lose!
Bottom 20%
Just IMO.
You do know this article is from 2007?
Exactly! Bush was a compassionate conservative, what ever the hell that means . . .
******************************
It means that after he has effected New England style, big government, globalist, elitist, NWO objectives and conservatives wonder why their tushies hurt . . . he will give them a kiss, and tell them they are blessed.

You're right. All of our Presidents, including Reagan, have failed us there.
I think that Bush was hoping that most of the immigrants - legal or not - would end up voting Republican if he went easy on this issue.
Well, the polls have proved him wrong. So instead of more Republicans, the country has gotten more welfare cases and more crime.
Bottom 20%
Just IMO.
************************
Bottom thired, IMO. A very mixed ticket. Like a classical Greek hero, he possesses some outstanding virtues but is fatally flawed, and blind to those flaws. History will not be kind to any of the four administrations which followed Reagan.
You have it exactly backwards my friend. And Øbozo's just warming up.
