I submit that Bush I was an incompetent boob who squandered and dismantled every good political benefit that had been bequeathed to him by the greatest President of the 20th century, Ronald Wilson Reagan.
Due to Bush I screwing the pooch, THAT is why we ended up with a serial rapist and predator in the form of William Jefferson Clinton, who with his grifter wife, sold out our national security to the Communist Chinese, among many other offenses, and if THAT doesn’t qualify as ‘among the worst’, I don’t know what does.
Here is the difference between those past elections and this one: we have suffered through eight years of treason under that Kenyan fraud in the White House, aided and abetted by a spineless and complicit GOP in Congress, enabled and encouraged by a compromised and corrupted media, and THAT is why Trump has the support he has, the American people are saying ‘enough is enough’ and Trump may not be the perfect conservative (something which simply doesn’t exist in the real world) but he’s conservative enough to turn this mess around, political, economic and military.
Also, avoided the mess his son got us into in the Middle East. That also counts for something.
Good luck on Trump turning out to be as good a diplomat and not antagonizing everybody we have to work with.
