Trump going after Bush in debate was "strategic" [vanity]

[springwater13]

Is anybody talking about Ted Cruz this morning? The only thing people remember about Ted at the debate was everyone calling him a liar. The Trump/Bush war has taken all the media oxygen away from Ted. Tomorrow when "W" has his rally with Jeb the media will dissect every word for every perceived slight against Trump. Then Trump will inevitably respond and on and on it goes. 2 or 3 very important days of media cycles taken away from Cruz as he tries to win South Carolina where he is 22 points behind.

Trump's support is the most solid. His 30-35% of the vote is going nowhere but the Trump hater votes is up for grabs and some of that may go to Jeb now. Who knows Jeb may even surge and come in 2nd or 3rd and create more chaos. That benefits Trump. The more chaos, the more anti-Trump vote is divided, the better chances he wins the nomination. What he's doing is very strategic to create controversy, maximize news cycles and divide and conquer his competition.

>>It’s hard to pin that on Bill Clinton when it happened 10 months after Bush was elected.<<

9/11 is 100% at bj’s doorstep. his non-response to the 1st WTC bombing and general non-response to terrorism sent a message loud and clear to islam: The USA has no stomach for a fight. The change of POTUS meant nothing to them, since W was unknown to them and thus perceived as weak as his predecessor.

The attacks on Iraq and Afghanistan sent a completely different message: Kick the USA and we will kick you harder.

Then osama obozo took over and sent a clear message: the USA will do your bidding, just let us look like we are actually doing something.

9/11 is NOT W’s fault by any stretch of the imagination, except for people who make videos of chickenwire and bricks in a BBQ.
