Very nearly. Of course, his chief opponent in 2000 was McCain, and he would most definitely have destroyed it completely.

Actually, Bush's poor performance has made me re-evaluate Sen. McCain. Maybe he was right after all....

I don’t know if he destroyed it but he definitely played a part in bringing it from a high point to its current state of disunity and disgust. His positions on illegal immigration and spending go against the strong beliefs of most of the party. President Bush and many other republicans angered millions of Americans when they decided to join Fat Ted Kennedy in his quest to destroy this country. That is a sin many find too hard to forgive.
