How do you feel about President Bush's book "The Last Republicans" ?

Sorry ... but neither Bush can claim perfection ... though I give higher marks to GHWB than GWB. I do wish that they both would ... keep their traps shut. I held my nose when I voted for both of them when they ran for their second terms. Neither lived up to my hopes ... or expectations. I'll go further ... neither Bush has the credibility, IMV, to handicap Trump this early in his term ... when they kept silent during the entire eight years of Obama's tenure. Pretty despicable. IMV, all they are doing is venting because Trump outdid Jeb. Too bad, so sad, suck it up.

Humility? He has to be kidding. Sending a humble man to the District of Calamity is like sending a Chihuahua to a Pit Bull fight. Remember that image of George Bush when he arrived there and was greeted by Teddy Kennedy. George was going to attempt to get along with the Democrats in Congress the way he got along with them in the Texas Legislature, and they knifed him at every turn. Apparently, he hasn't yet felt the pain of the knife that Teddy was sticking in his back in that picture.

We elected Bush as a President NOT a political brand name, he needs to get that straight in his head. Bush would have won a second term if he didn't have to fight the Media along with the Clinton Campaign. One of his biggest problems was Bill Clinton co-opting his political ideas and claiming them as his own. I also remember the Media calling him a WIMP even though he served in Combat. Bill Clinton also promised the country a NEW DIRECTION for the Democratic Party one that was not as radically far left as we were at that point (look where we are now.....it is even worse). Honestly I firmly believe Trump has broken through several false barriers that seemed to exist to the Oval Office. The fact that once again anyone can run for President and you do not have to be a professional politician I am sure has sent a shock through both political parties (their farming system can be circumvented). The fact he can speak plainly without the equivicating diplo language crap is a refreshing change as well. Despite the negatives he brought to office with him Trump has changed the political landscape for the better and has restored the path to the Oval Office again to a broader source of potential candidates.

I think it is really arrogant to imply or even say outright that either Bush reflected Republican ideals 100% when they both represented the Liberal wing of the Republican Party. Reagan was not a fan of Bush as I seem to remember and even made the statement publicly "He doesn't seem to stand for anything". Despite the First Gulf War it was hard to find any points during the first Bush's Presidency where he took a stand on principal. It was mostly wishy washy luke warm.......warmed up mush of a leadership style.........nothing like Reagan. Reagan had every totalitarian regime on the planet peeing in their pants scared of what he would do next. We had threats of war but nothing beyond a 1-2 week operation really.
