On the Bush thing - many here are lamenting that bringing him on was detrimental and it should have been someone else......and all that talk, while in hind-sight looks 100% accurate, doesn’t take into account the time.
Others rightly confirm that the Establishment detested Reagan...….well, Bush was the leader so concessions needed to be made. Like some then like some of us now, myself included with Trump as I was a Cruz guy, needed to see the man for who he was, not who the Establishment wanted us to see. I would say with Trump that tilts much more toward the MSM as far as messing with perception.
You bring up good points. No man is infallible. Reagan has his faults (O’Connor, not responding to Beirut, ‘86 Amnesty) and Trump has his (spending, budgets, delivery) but overall both men had/have one goal, to make America the shining city on the hill.
If this weenie can’t see, not sure I care. He’s not a Conservative anyway.
spot on
Bush was also (let’s be honest) very dangerous
He was a longtime CIA man. Probably had at least some fingerprints on some ops in his lifetime that were not really very nice.....some of which we would probably like, but some we most certainly would not.
But to your point....the times have to be taken into consideration.
What is amazing is that Reagan and Trump see the time soooooo clearly, and are able to rise above the immediate fray and look across the horizon and continue making stratetig and tactical moves to get closer to the shining city on the hill.....
(Like ending the Cold War, like destroying Isis, like significantly reducing the nuclear threat, like making North Korea stand down...and now Iran?)
