But in 1992, GHWB promoted a ‘Service Economy’ that was detailed by Ross Perot, you know, that giant sucking sound? We lost our Value Creation economy and are wasting away our natural resources.
I guess President Trump doesn't count ....
Why is he the last WASP POTUS? Why aren’t Clinton or Chimpy not WASPs? Why isn’t Trump considered a WASP? What kind of nonsense is that?
That was Reagan’s coattails.
Bush may have been the last WASP President in a country that was no longer WASP by the 1970s
Wow. The Hill has nothing to talk about. What an idiotic headline
Was a real (ignorant) fan of G. H. W. Bush, considering the many things he did his career, not the least of which his naval service during WWII.
But, the allegations made by Heather Lind of him copping a feel (while he was in his wheelchair), that were later corroborated and he apologized for, really swayed my opinion of him. Turns out he has skeletons like most every other politician . . .
[426 electoral votes in 1988 for Bush. I wonder if we will ever see that again.]
That was before democrats learned how to cheat.
Reagan’s worst mistake.
What an evil man, and a serial groper to boot.
Then we got stuck with his MORON son, who was SO bad that the country elected a black muslim non-NBC marxist to change course.
They missed Donald J. Trump. He is a Presbyterian raised in the tradition of his mom. GHW Bush was “wasp-ish” and more Skull and Bones, and don’t forget seeing eye ehhhhhhh china “hand” (crippled the entire time- remember the revolt in china- in the Square. US could have done quite a bit to slow the situation. Chi-Coms had to import rural troops to do the killing- the urban ones knew it was all bull crap.
“W” also was WASP. Clinton? Carter? Also white, also Anglo-Saxon, also protestant (I believe.)
Never liked the term “WASP.” Here in North Jersey many of not most of the folks whose ancestors go back to Colonial times are of Dutch or even Palantine German ancestry. Also, Clinton and GWB are of colonial era English ancestry (as was Obama on his mother’s side).
Yeah.... “Read my lips”....and then turned around and let SS increase their bite out of our paychecks, IIRC....
His son won the popular vote in 2004 so what was the author's point?
Trump is a WASP and won the popular vote...they just stole it by claiming he didn’t.
