...Winston Churchill, about as anti-communist as they came, famously said, "If Hitler invaded Hell, I would at least make favorable reference to the Devil in the House of Commons."

We don't have to like or admire Bush, but in this dire case for the moment, the enemy of our enemy is our friend.

Stalin was one of the worst people ever to have lived. But he had more to do with the defeat of Hitler than any other leader.

But feel free to do so if YOU want too. I also won't be "forgiving" Trump for all the horrendous SHIT he's done to divide this Country and praise domestic terrorist even if all of them get chummy with that POS years from now.

I didn't like Bush's politics one iota but I never thought he was evil. I believe Trump is evil, i.e. satanic.

I hate Bush but Tx Loves them so this may do it for Joe.

He's doing well here on his own but gdammitt, Bush is like a god here to the Repubs.

I hope this ad plays everywhere all fking day long here in Texas.
i don't care where else it plays.
Biden needs our electoral votes.

It counts for Biden and it may count a tiny bit as well for down ticket blue Dems.

Welcome the support as threre are A LOT of Bush supporters who hate Trump.

This may play very well for Biden in Texas, & just enough to give the Tx electoral to Biden.
And that would pretty much seal the deal.


Doesn't change how much I'll always despise the whole Bush family 🤢

The election would be effectively over that day. Bush would push 10% of the Texas vote to Biden, if not more.

The state of Texas has 38 electoral votes in the Electoral College.
Texas last voted for a Democratic candidate in 1976. Polling points to a close result in Texas in 2020, and it is seen as a potential swing state.

He went from "worse President ever" and "dumbest President ever" to an elder statesman whose endorsement Biden would want after one term of Trump.

It's amazing what the wisdom of age and time will do to one's perspective. I recognize I was wrong about him for all the years that I was so angry. He is truly an amazing, decent human being and while I still disagree with some of his policies History will view Bush/Cheney in a MUCH more favorable light than prior to Trump...
