He tells the world that his own party was worse than mistaken, it was driven by partisan ambition in its opposition to Clinton. It says that the impeachment put the country at risk for petty party advantage. It utterly cut the legs out from the conservative position.
Bush might have softened some of the left-wing criticism against him, and prepared the way for his presentation by the historians as a peacemaker and statesman, someone above petty party politics, but he has ruined the party which he parasitically occupied.
Now comes Terry McAuliffe from whom no rational man would buy a used car after hearing him speak for five minutes, and he is, thanks to Bush, a perfectly acceptable candidate for the governorship of the Old Dominion. He will win too if he can get past the primary. No one will have more money to spend. No one will have a better organization in place. His governorship is virtually guaranteed.
So far has the Republican party sunk by the selfishness of its leader and the fecklessness and corruption of its elected representatives, that an absurd mouthpiece for a disgraced impeached president is a virtual shoo-in for the governorship of a state in the old Confederacy. We are now in a place where we cannot defend Virginia and North Carolina. We cannot convince the electorate that Magic Negro, a loudmouth tax cheating comedian, and a wheeler dealer who fronted for the Clintons are all unworthy of national or statewide office.
No need to look to the stars, the fault is our own.
