        To be fair though, Bush's disaster was one that can be repaid. Trump is on the brink of a disaster that no-one will be around to repay.

        You can repay the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who have died? Stop thinking based on your egomaniacal Americanism.

        Many of the issues in the article can be written off as partisan, but not Iraq war debacle and the evisceration of the constitution via the "patriot" act.

        Bush was one of the best people who ever should not have been president.

        Sanity? For a man that started a war based on lies? To some extent I get why Trump was elected when people think these things.

        Bush 43 dealt with 9/11 and put safety of the homeland as the highest priority. Don’t forget that. Easy to criticize from safety.

        slowly finding out that Trump may be the only player to NOT collude with Russians. He is rough around the edges, but might be Mr. Clean

        All it shows is that people are tribal. Jeb was embarrassed by Trump so W and HW have attacked him nonstop since primaries.

        Low info folks have no clue about specifics ... only my team and your team. W saying bad things about Trump is enough to raise favorability.
