      Yes, the competent staffing of the Bush years that gave us the safety of ... um ... 9/11, a war sold on lies, the botched response to Katrina, and the biggest economic crisis since the 1930s.https://twitter.com/DanaHoule/status/1254536973844430850 …

      Imagine if every political position in the exec branch—not just secretaries, but assistants & deputies & directors & liaisons & comms etc—imagine if the worst person to hold each of those positions during the Bush/Obama years held that position now, & how much safer we would be

      Trump is genuinely terrible in ways that are well documented but whitewashing the administration of George W. Bush doesn't help make the case for Trump one whit.

          If anything it just reminds them that Trump will not only get away with it, he'll be looked back on with nostalgia once they trot out someone even worse

          Yup. Bush had much more to squander. Trump is really only exposing the deterioration of US competency that Bush pioneered.

          #GinaHaspel @AmbJohnBolton #ElliotAbrams #JohnKelley #RodRosenstein #WilliamBarr Bush held up Kavanaugh' records that were never released or reviewed by the Senate judiciary & he worked behind the scenes pushing for Senate GOP to confirm him.

          The Bush folks had the advantage of not appearing completely crazy, which these days can look like competence.
