      Well, by comparison to the current administration. I would much rather have the shrub back.

        Bush created ICE (plus the surveillance state apparatus we’re stuck with today), invaded Iraq, had a stupid border fence, and had surging oil prices towards the end of his term along with the greatest financial crisis since the great depression. Trump is merely following the same script, financial crisis pending.

          I mean yeah, but he’s even more inherently unlikable, and less of an orator than Bush. Beyond his obvious contempt for “lesser Americans” that Bush could downplay and sell as “compassion”.

            Don’t forget Bush actually believed in Democracy whereas Trump believes in holding onto power in any way he can.
