B1 Bob was seen as a bomb thrower and halfway nuts.
That’s why he was never in leadership, even when he was there.
That's the way the MSM portrays effective repubs.
Either dimwitted, slow, bumbling, uneducated, and on and on.
IMO we need someone tossing bombs occasionally. Keep the dims in defensive mode for a change.
If the subject was military, aerospace, warfare B1 Bob was a walking encyclopedia.
Oh, and perhaps his greatest attribute, he could out talk any dim.
One of the very few repubs that could. Actually I can’t think of any other repub then or now that can keep the usual dim spokesman’s mouth shut.
