Gawd... reminds me so much of the Bernie supporters who absolutely REFUSED to support Hillary... and would rather not vote than to support her...

i remember one guy introducing her to a town hall, said that Hillary and Trump were the same thing, before being ushered off stage....

those idiots probably cost the election, considering the actual margin of difference in the electoral college was south of 200k total in Michigan, Wisconsin and penn....

thanks idiots

His personality was a major component of him winning. The whole "who would you rather have a beer with?" thing.

Hmmm. I recall it in 2000 as both he and Gore being bland personality wise in the election. That it was kind of a push as an issue. Gore certainly had the dork vibe down, but I recalled Bush as not very personable either due to the constant bumbling during appearances and also the fact that he was from such wealth.

While he certainly would have won the beer issue with most, (over Gore and Kerry I would say. boy the Dems have had some stinker candidates in terms of personality) I didn't recall it as having much factor in those campaigns.

Playing politics with peoples health care. no problem.

Washington (CNN)Republican leaders want members of their party to advance their plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, but the time may be coming for them to put their bill out and dare their rank-and-file to vote no.

After a month of education meetings and round-the-clock discussions with more than 150 members, House Republican leaders are still trying to work through disagreements with their fellow lawmakers over tax credits, the tax exclusion on employer plans and Medicaid changes.

Pretty easy to see that George W. Bush was/is a decent, honourable human being.

I think history will further solidify that he was a weak president who, while sharing a large portion of their views, allowed what was basically a hawkish think tank hijack the first 6 years of his presidency.

I have a perverse feeling of sympathy for him in a way.

Hard to say. He also was President during one of the most trying periods in the Republic's history.

I don't think it's hard to say that they should have stopped at Afghanistan. If they had achieved a quick, clean victory in Iraq, who knows how far that group would have gone.

Not sure honorable is a qualifier. At least not during his presidency.

He "seems" like a kind fellow at this point though.
