The AP stands for Anti-Patriot.
He didn’t plummet due to economic reasons.
He plummeted due to promoting one world government and not finishing Iraq off - which (together wih ceasing immigration enforcement) proved to many he was serious about one world government.
I voted a write in for Alan Keyes.
And here I thought HW was a a serial GOPeer.
Now we have to hear about all the phony stories on how ‘great’ Bush was.
Imagine how unhappy they’d be if they talked about what an insufferable RINO he was.
Then they’d slaver all over his legacy like they did on McCain.
He promised no new taxes. He broke his word.
The AP is a reliable ally of Liberal Democrats. Who is shocked by their cheap shot headline?
Anything positive spouted about
this family of liberal jobbers and grifters, is misplaced.

The AP lied about why GHWB lost. He promised ‘No new taxes’ and after he broke his word the voters gave him no new term.
In the 1940’s, he defended America.
After 1990, he worked for the New World Order and not America.
“George H.W. Bush, a patrician New Englander whose presidency soared with the coalition victory over Iraq in Kuwait, but then plummeted in the throes of a weak economy that led voters to turn him out of office after a single term...”
I don’t think that’s particularly unfair or wrong.
It’s true that his presidency was so popular after the Kuwait war that mainstream democrats didn’t want to run against him.
So that’s why the unknown from Arkansas ran and was able to get the nomination.
The establishment Dems were chicken because of husband high approval rating.
Clinton had nothing to lose.
Bush lost in 1992 because of Ross Perot.
Sounds fair to me.
GHWB was a disaster. He destroyed the Reagan vision. He opened America to what we are today.
The economy WAS weak. And his ratings DID plunge from almost 90% in a matter of months.
Those comments are not half as bad as many on FR today.
There was indeed a mild recession during his term, but by the time of the election it was again experiencing robust growth. Of course, the news media didn't report it that way. The recession was long over by then with strong economic growth, but the fake news media wanted Bill Clinton in office and by golly, they were going to get the public to believe the economy was still in recession.

updated Sunday morning
We’ve deleted a tweet and revised a story on the death of President George H.W. Bush because the tweet and the opening of the story referenced his 1992 electoral defeat and omitted his WWII service.
