(10,878 posts)to actually feel bad for a Bush.
But, when I saw that, it was so pathetic that I actually did feel bad for him.
Just for a second.
Then, I remembered how much I hate Bushes....lol.

(5,252 posts)most R candidates by talking about their personality weaknesses (he's got a lot to work with), and the polls all the while never talking policy.
Iowa's radical evangelical wing is gigantic, but Cruz threw Trump a golden bone. On top of everything that's wrong with Cruz, now he's a felon!
Rubio is a boy. No match for Trump. I can't wait to see his beating.
Assuming Trump wins the Primary, his antics could be problematic for the GE. Do Americans care about policy or personality and character defects. McCain and Romney were "low energy" bafoons. Both Hillary and Bernie have huge targets. Both extremely vulnerable. It's going to take Democratic zealots to show up like the evangelical zealots did for Cruz. Trump wins the (if he drank) "he's someone if like to have a beer with" vote. That's how Americans picked Bush twice over two "low energy" Democrats. Americans have been making bad decisions for decades. We've also got to clear an historical hurdle: electing a Dem after 8 years of a Dem.
On paper, we crush anyone. In reality TV, Trump is a handful.
