Character matters. Words mean things. Or at least conservatives used to believe that character mattered before Trump and words used to mean things before Trump.

9/11 happen during Bush’s term? yes
Did Bush keep us safe? No
Did Trump accuse Bush of 9/11 conspiracy? No
Is Bush responsible for security? yes

Yeah, yeah..

The NY Post doesn’t get to draw any lines.

Trump was right, Jeb was wrong.

Conservatives still do. I supported trump about two weeks.. Then I remembered 2000 and I looked at the constitution. He has an anti constitutional record. Then he was scared of a girl who might ask unfair questions.. I am not a bush fan, when he went patriot act, I couldn’t agree. The rent a crowd Trumpeteers will eventually go back to DU.. Mr Single Payor 2000 isn’t any constitutionalists candidate. Hiding behind veterans and running to lawyers to sue his way to the top.. Um, not just no. He has more in common with al gore.. Chelsea Clinton than even whobio.

I’m looking forward not backwards. I suggest others do the same since we can do something about that yet to happen.

Brave New World. Now articles questioning Trump’s criticism of Bush get tagged as “sewage.” It’s silly season.

George W. Bush was perfect and you’re a liberal if you dare criticize him.

Character does matter to some of us, not so much to others.

I am constantly amazed at the gymnastics the Trump-menschen will attempt in order to justify their blind allegiance to the Little Tin Godling.
If so much wasn’t at stake I would laugh but it reminds me too much of the Hope and Change Obama zombies.

The antics of candidate Trump have been bad enough to drop him down my list.
Like his divorces.
Sleeping around on your wife is all about character or the lack thereof.
Sleeping with the wives of your friends, business associates and business opponents is all about character or the lack thereof.

It doesn’t matter how much wealth you accumulate, how many beautiful, huge buildings you build nor how many people you employ.
It doesn’t matter how many custom 757 airplanes you own, how many rides you give the kiddies in your custom helicopter or how many photo-ops you have with service members.

When you are stone cold dead your character is all anyone, even family, will remember.
Trump has none.

The vitriol of the Trump-menschen has pretty much guaranteed a third party vote if the Little Tin Godling somehow gets the nomination.

The Constitution Party looks better every day.

If Trump’s statements were “crossing the line” then so have 95% (or more) of the mainstream media (especially the NYT) who have been feeding those lines to the public for 2 decades

I guess this makes Trump guilty of believing what the press writes, which I believe once he sees classified information will be an eye opener to him

BTW, Trump didn’t really “blame” Bush for 911 but when Jeb said his brother “made us safer” Trump, a New Yorker, incredulously pointed out that the WTC came down on Bush’s watch.

Granted Bush had but 9 months in office to read up on al Qaeda, to assess and prioritize the threats against us, and to reform and decompartmentalize Jamie Gorelick’s ruinous intelligence community walls

but he was the potus

In industry and in the military, when the ship goes down the Captain is responsible whether he caused it or not

Back when the decision to go to war with Iraq was made, it just did not make sense. I could not see the connection to the Twin Towers terrorism. Afghanistan, yes, maybe. But Iraq? No. WMD’s in Iraq? It could not be proven before the war, nor during, nor after.

The libs said at the onset of the second Iraq war that Bush II was just getting revenge for daddy. I wondered if they were right back then.

It was not popular to bash a Bush at Free Conservatives or FR back then. With hindsight being 20 20, Bush was definitely a lib, and possible a NWO jerk like daddy.

Had Saddam been kept in power, that region would have been more secure. Now look at the mess that evolved thanks to Bush. Yes, Bush screwed up so bad we got obama. I am not talking just about the Iraq war or the economy. I’m talking about push back. He could have pushed the libs back a little so the brainwashed public would not have elected obama in the first place.

Bush’s are first class anti-American globalist losers! I think the public is aware of this, which is why the public wants no more Bush’s or Clinton’s.

It’s Trumps time. Actually, I see a scary comparison to the rise of Hitler. I don’t think Trump will be a Hitler, but his coming to power has many similarities.

A once proud, now beaten down trodden nation, reviving itself under the leadership of a very proud man. A very popular man. Nationalism coming back to the surface. Many similarities between Germany and the US.

I wonder if the people slamming Trump (or anyone else) who questions any part of the official narrative about the leadup to the Iraq war will have the same attitude about anyone who questions the official narrative about the death of Antonin Scalia?

Donald Trump can and should cross every single line they hide behind.

Go Trump.
