She may have thought, for a while, that he was for real.
Most American conservatives thought the Bushes and Rove were for real. For a long time.
I can sign on to that idea. She’s old enough to know better, but with kids and other things taking up your time, you don’t always get to see the nitty gritty with guys like McCain.
Hopefully she’ll season with time, can become much more in tune with his antics, so she can avoid the terrible advice he’s bound to try to foist off on her.
I saw Bush as a big spending governor, and was afraid where he would lead us from the White House. When I say big spending, his fix for the Texas education system was to throw money at it and hope some of it stuck. And then, his no child left behind nonsense, that’s just liberal gobble-d-goop as far as I was concerned. Compassionate Conservative? I mean that’s just a slap at your every day Conservative right there.
This guy telegraphed his weaknesses way in advance.
I had not use for him.
You are accurate in that he fooled a lot of folks.
