He was not a man of character and put this nation on the wrong course.
He didn't want the U.S. to gloat because he didn't believe in the U.S. winning anything, that is why he refused to give us a real victory in Iraq!
Patrician thru and thru... there are both some pros and cons to that.
To be honest I find President Trump and his approach to be a breath of fresh air.
The descendants of the monied elites that helped guide the nation to great heights leave much to be desired.
Trump saw this in action up close which is why he pushed his children to work in business etc.
Take a look from Prescott to Jeb! and now George P Bush.
He was a dove when the times called for a lion.
As president, Mr. Bush brought just the right attitude to the collapse of the Soviet Union, warning Americans they should not engage in triumphalism over the collapse of the communist regime (many celebrated anyway) and the end of the Cold War
He absolutely should have addressed this historic series of events, using them as “teachable moments”: for capitalism and freedom defeating communism and tyranny.
When it comes to voters, a POTUS should always either be in campaign mode or instructive mode—or both. This BS about “not taking a victory lap” is false “modesty” carried out to a destructive level. Bush Sr. screwed up on this, BIG TIME.
I guarantee you Ronald Reagan and President Trump would have rightfully seized the historic events with triumph, patriotism and national pride.
This is like McCain’s death...Just an excuse to attack Trump, 24/7, around the clock, year in and and year out.
I can assure all, the America last crowd, the corrupt establishment hacks in D.C. are not going to like the post Trump era.
And he was a far,*far* better man as well.
A Man of character who nobody knew what he stood for or was abut or what he did or anything. He was a nothing as President.

Ill never forget his criticism of voodoo economics.
Oh he had a character right, but it was not a commendable one.
Ive had farts with more dignity than that old rasper.
HW was obviously a very likeable, congenial man. However, it is very hard for me to reconcile his concern for fellow man and love of country with his “New World Order”, which to me is a Global Elitist Government. I consider that to be a proposition that is evil to the core. Was HW naive, or was he personally involved in evil treachery beyond measure? Given all the roles he played in government, it is very hard for me to conclude that he was naive. I wish I could believe otherwise.
Evil character
President of the New World Order.
George H. W. Bush was a Globalist.
That is all you need to know.
GHWB was a tax-loving globalist gun-grabber, and paved the way for Ruby Ridge and Clinton and the Waco disaster. Man of character, my foot.
“Mr. Bush faltered when he broke his “read my lips, no new taxes” pledge in exchange for a promise by congressional Democrats to cut spending. The Democrats got their tax increase, but didn’t deliver on spending cuts. “
He got played.
Now the dems have Trump.
Reagan’s biggest mistake. Didn’t need a deep state liberal on the ticket.
