TRUMP [on the Larry King Show (April 15, 2009), referring to the then newly elected communist president (Obama)]: "Well, I really like him. I think that he's working very hard. He's trying to rebuild our reputation throughout the world. I mean, we really have lost a lot of reputation in the world. The previous administration [GW Bush] was a total disaster, a total catastrophe."

President Barack Obama has finished the second leg of his international confession tour. In less than 100 days, he has apologized on three continents for what he views as the sins of America and his predecessors. ..."

Re: “. . . called the Iraq War a mistake and accused the George W. Bush administration of lying before the invasion.”
This WAS the Republican debate, right? Not the Democrat debate?
As much as I dislike Jeb, I still do not fault W Bush for removing Saddam. We all know that everyone’s ineliigence services, and I mean everyone’s, said that Saddam had WMD’s. We also all know that Saddam had violated the UN peace treaty several times over, and we all know that In the aftermath of 9/11, we simply could not risk letting him continue to fund terrorism and whatever else he was doing. The failure of the W’s administration came in the post-war strategy.
But, of course, after the fact is always 20/20 vision.
What the hell?
I much prefer Cruz over Trump but Trump didn’t praise these whackos, they praised him.
If we allow this, then any kook group could praise anyone we like and it would discredit them.
This 2 min video will tell you all you need to know about Trump!
Best. Election. Ever.
You’re being too kind. Add potentially the biggest looser in Presidential history - or, if he wins, the most liberal Republican in Presidential history.
I’m sure Code Pink praised Bush too after he admitted there were no WMDs in Iraq.

I’ve been disappointed by some things all the candidates have done or said these past few months, but any candidate, especially a Republican one, who doesn’t know why we went into Iraq, and to accuse the Bush administration of lying about WMD’s just to start a war, that candidate, at least to me, has demonstrated a great lack of understanding, fortitude, and knowledge.
That candidate not only accuses W of lying about WMD’s, but also everyone else’s intelligence services.
Operation Chaos for those who can’t understand such subtle moves.

Georgie “Saddam tried to kill my daddy” Bush, lied to get us into a war to avenge his Daddy’s honor; so what that thousands of Working Class kids had to die, and thousands of others be disabled for life.
"Trump going for dem crossovers? Big Picture?"
A vote is a vote.
When he told the truth about Bush, it resonated outside the Republican party. That is good.
Do you really believe you are persuading anyone?
Has it occurred to you that the tens of millions of long time small c conservatives that will be voting Trump may know even more negative things about Trump than you and have already priced those into the stock, having carefully considered the nature of the negatives vs the positives and negatives of the other stocks available?
Is it possible you appear to everyone as a child on the beach screaming 'Look! Sand!'?
You Cruz people are an angry and hateful bunch. I thought Cruz supporters were supposed to be sunny and optimistic. I mean Ted himself views himself as Reagan’s heir. And Ted has invited God into his campaign to lift it up and save America. How can good, optimistic and Godly Republicans such as Cruz supporters be such an angry, hateful bunch??? Defies logic.
That’s not fair! Trump just has very broad appeal. In fact I’ll bet Hillary and Bernie both vote for him.
Something some of us tried to tell you back then was the FACT that George Bush was using the National guard as his force and put them on several tours of duty in Iraq. This is NOT what the guard is for! Ever wonder why Bush was so pro illegal alien/Cheap foreign labor? IF he kept plenty of aliens here to do work, our kids had no choice but inlist.
George Bush is not a hero, and he was wrong about Iraq!
