By attacking the Bushes ( who are in single digits) the Donald was making a play not for GOP voters but for independents and Reagan democrats who are not so liberal as Bolshevik Bernie and more morally adjusted than to be thrilled about voting in the morally bankrupt Clintons
This yuge bloc of maybe 30-40% of voters that lies between the 30% conservative and 30% liberal blocs - is IN PLAY and the Donald is speaking their language about George Bush’s failures—— the Donald swung, he hit, he scored
This is a very smart man, love him or not
He is playing 3d chess on multiple boards while the rest of the GOP field is playing checkers
I agree with your post 35
Bingo.
Trump is trying to draw W into a knife fight.
He wants to clearly differenciate his brand from the Bushes ahead of the general election.
We’ll see if W takes the bait.
I hadn’t thought about that. :)
Yes but what he is doing is making sure to alienate normally loyal Republican voters. Voters who won’t be their for him if he wins the nomination.
