I felt that GW did a good job his first term. Then, WHAMO! What happened to him?? It all makes total sense now, that his failure was by design. Setting up a Barack Obama and Democrat-controlled House and Senate. And almost another Clinton White House. President Trump is only a temporary bump in the road for these OWG types. Hopefully we The people have woken up enough to realize the danger ahead.
