Dubya was brave in some areas, he always cared for those in uniform and us Vets. My "kids" were in uniform when Dubya was prez, and we parents knew that Dubya had their backs.
I won't forget this.
We parted sympathies with illegal aliens and open borders and a few other things.
But he did fear the media, the NYT and WaPo.
He never really understood that the Dems in Congress had no (NO) intention of ever getting along.
Then came brother Jeb, a true fool, and Dubya of course supported his bro.
Jeb actually had the inside track on the GOP nom until he got honest about open borders objectives and gave whole speeches in spanish.
Trump's victory embarrassed the Bushes, as it should have.
Then, Trump's courage in running our Fine Country and promoting Conservative ideals, with no apologies, and succeeding at doing so, further embarrassed Dubya.
In short, Donald makes Dubya look weak, ineffective, and too eager to please the Dems and their media.
That Dubya does not like standing in Trump's shadow is somewhat understandable, it would take a bigger man to admit that Trump succeeded in so many areas where Dubya could not.
It’s not that that Dubya couldn’t secure the borders and enforce the laws it’s that he wouldn’t because he wanted the country overrun with illegal aliens.
He was never really on the side of the citizens and the rule of law.
The real reason the Bushes hate Trump is he is attempting to reverse their life’s work and their daddy’s vision of turning the USA into North Mexico.
