People are tired of politics and corruption as usual from both sides. This is why Trump was elected. Simple as that.

Also by picking Cheney as VP, Bush refused to establish a successor. Guess he thought it would be Jeb. Bushes thought they should rule 4ever
-
Maybe he picked the person whose advice he valued most. "Picking a successor", especially one likely to succeed, a dubious proposition.
-
And sure, leaving door open for Jeb almost certainly crossed his mind but doubt that was foremost or even a principle consideration. 2/3
-
In any event, even had the 43 presidency been broadly judged to be a success would have been deeply inappropriate for 3 members of the same
-
nuclear family. Some of the resistance to Jeb was absolutely deranged but the family connection alone a very good reason to oppose even
-
in the absence of any animosity for the family.

He's responsible for two very liberal Supreme Court Justices as well. Rs defending him should acknowledge that.

No, Alito is solid.

Apologies, I should have been more clear: because of W's blunders, Obama nominated Kagan and Sotomayor. They are both very liberal.

GWBush failures led to Dems
winning filibuster-proof Senate majority
for first time since Carter
One result: Obamacare

Without GWBush
and
Without Obama
.
.
There's no Trump.
So maybe Bush is 'last Republican president.'
And maybe there's a reason for that
