Getting So Bad For Republicans Bush Jr Is Going To Speak

The guy who ran out of town with the entire house burning down around his / our ears.

Think about how bad it has to be for Republicans to bring out Bush from obscurity.

Head to the storm shelter! Fire in the hole. She's gonna blow..... End Times....

have zero influence on the MAGAts. They made sure that Jebbie didn't win a single primary or caucus in 2016.

And Obama and Clinton are not going to influence them, either.

We need them to vote for Biden and deliver a crushing defeat to Trump.

there was an article in The New Yorker that went into detail about how the country clubbers have made their peace with Trump for being able to stay in power. Trump may have a ceiling of about 45 percent when things are going well, but he seems to have a floor of about 40 percent no matter what. That suggests to me that the moderate Republicans of old are vanishing.

back during his administration thought that Shrub was way too soft on immigration. No doubt, they're much happier with Trump's positions on the issue.

By the way, within the next month, we're going to see the SCOTUS decision on DACA. I fully expect DACA to be finished at that point, I don't see how Justices Sotomayor and Kagen come up with an argument that says "bad" Executive Orders can be changed by a subsequent administration, but "good" Executive Orders are permanent and cannot be wiped away with the stroke of a pen. At least it won't be convincing to Chief Justice Roberts, and he's the only swing vote here.

Either way, Trump will surely harness the crisis that erupts.

to improve his reputation just by comparing the two. And James Buchanan's ghost must be rejoicing.
