Trump certainly sound like Obama when he was talking about George Bush. If there weren’t WMD’s how did Saddam Hussein use them? Why did we keep finding left overs for many years to come? Yes, Saddam exaggerated what he had, but there was enough WMD’s to worry about. Plus I don’t know anyone even on the liberal side that blames Bush for 9-11. That was just way off. This really could be Trump’s downfall.
Check it out:
Donald Trump and Jeb Bush argue over Iraq, 9/11 and weapons of mass destruction at Saturday night’s debate moderated by CBS News. Trump addresses comments in made in 2008 where he said he was not surprised then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi didn’t try to impeach Bush over Iraq.

“But I’m trusting the judgement of people that have known Trump for a long time”
Like who? Hillary, Bill, Mcconnel, Boehner, Spitzer, and on. He has told you who he is friends with and those are the folks you believe?
“You really think Cruz is going to save you?”
I never mentioned Cruz in my posts to you. Instead, I was hoisting you on your own petard.
Trump is right about one thing. Folks like would would follow him not matter what he does. He could seriously shoot someone on a debate stage and you would find some way to come on FR and say it was great.
