he has always hated the iraq war, if that is what you are referring to, and hates tpp as well.

His opposition to TPP and other trade deals may be posturing--saying things that blue collar voters want to hear but I think his disdain for the people who got us into the Iraq war is real.

I agree, he really hates all of the Bushes with a passion.
