Will Trump admin be better or worse than Dubya?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

What is your prediction?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

1. A gazillion times worse

For all his flaws and they were manifest Bush loved his country. Trump only loves himself. Trump is a sociopath.

[metroins]

51. Gazillion plus infinity plus 1

Obama leaving on a high note, Trump will leave on a low note.

[putitinD]

2. 1000 times worse

[moonscape]

3. Easier question to answer that what is my name. I

would crawl over broken glass to replace T w/ GWB.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. Can you imagine if Trump was pres on 9/11 ?

There would be internment camps.

[moonscape]

58. We're going to experience the unimaginable, we

only don't know the what how or when. But the odds of something catastrophic happening due to his idiocy approaches 100%.

I so wish I didn't believe that.

[LisaM]

4. We are still reaping what W sowed.

The immediate damage might seem worse - and could be apocalyptic, which would be way worse - but the extent of harm W caused is yet to be determined.

His SCOTUS has certainly caused lasting harm, much of which we saw play out during this election cycle. We've barely recovered from his economic policies, and his wars continue.

I think it's a continuum from Reagan - unrestrained free market capitalism colliding with an upsurge in right-wing religions, which is playing out worldwide.

[guillaumeb]

33. Well put.

Reagan was the racist hiding behind the mask of a nice old man.
Bush was the racist hiding behind the affected Texas accent.
Trump is the up front and open racist who sees no need to hide behind a mask.

[Chasstev365]

5. Never thought it would be possible, but

This is going to be a million × worse because like Bush, the Republicans will NEVER impeach Trump.

[pbmus]

7. At least 10 times worse...

[lpbk2713]

8. Worse by far. No doubt in my mind.

At least Shit-for-Brains had people below him who could bail him out. And they had
to do it often. Trump is bringing people on board who are a literal wrecking crew.

[guillaumeb]

34. People below him like Cheney, and Rumsfeld, and Yoo, and Bybee, and Powell,

and Rice, and Feith? Those people?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

9. Shaping up to be worse

[beaglelover]

10. Way worse.

At least George W. Bush was a decent human being. That can't be said about Trump.

[Angry Dragon]

14. At least George W. Bush was a decent human being.

that might be pushing it a great deal

[wishstar]

25. I never believed Bush was a predatory misogynist racist

He was a stupid fool and I despised Bush and Cheney with a passion, but even with the Iraq invasion and his Axis of Evil rhetoric, I do not believe Bush was an Islamaphobe. He was foolish enough to believe Iraq would welcome us with open arms and everything there would work out successfully in just a few weeks after the invasion. He did not despise and scapegoat immigrants and Mexicans either.

Although Bush could be misleading and shady, he was careful in his remarks so he could never be caught in a boldfaced lie and impeached, whereas Dump lies constantly with impunity and so far is getting away with it

[Angry Dragon]

26. what you just wrote is very true

[uponit7771]

55. +1

[beaglelover]

36. I basically mean in the way that I doubt he grabs women by their pussies.

[Angry Dragon]

42. I still wonder about him and Condi

[Island Blue]

57. If he and Condi did anything

I think it was probably consensual. She seemed pretty into him.

[guillaumeb]

37. If only we could ask all the dead Iraqis about Bush being a decent human being.

Perhaps we could poll all the Guantanamo detainees.

[beaglelover]

38. Not for nothing, but Obama has killed his fair share of innocent people in the middle east.

I'm not saying Bush is the most decent human being on the planet. Just that he's a more decent human being than Trump could ever hope to be.

[guillaumeb]

39. But what a horrible choice, to have to pick between very bad and even worse. eom

[Angry Dragon]

11. within six months you are going miss Bush

[Guilded Lilly]

12. Simple. THE worst in my life time. Quite possibly, ever.

[DLevine]

13. Much worse. nt

[msongs]

15. imagine how bad it could be. it will be worse than that nt

[annabanana]

16. much, much worse.. At least W understood the game..

as wrong-headed as his every move was from beginning to end.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. DIFFERENT. Trump is batshit crazy - but he, so far, hasn't started a fake war

where hundreds of thousands died

[etherealtruth]

21. He doesn't have the power ... yet

He seems to be antagonizing some pretty powerful players (China)

[BigDemVoter]

18. So much worse that it cannot even be quantified.

And the damage-- if not irreversible-- will take generations to repair.

[workinclasszero]

19. Obama's administration will be the golden age before the fall

Bush's reign will be looked at kindly compared to Dumpfs reign of terror/error

[NCTraveler]

20. Better.

I'm banking on him being gone in four and damaging republicans along the way.

[forgotmylogin]

22. I think W knew when he wasn't the smartest person in the room.

Trump is completely full of himself, and has no problem steamrolling over people who don't share his worldview. He's got the Patrick Bateman 1980s sense of business and (likely) personal philosophy in that if he doesn't need you, and you can't benefit him in some way, there's no reason to keep you around. He enjoys getting the upper hand on people.

Trump says horrible things and doesn't give a shit. He is used to no consequences and has won the lottery in as far as he thinks he can do anything he wants and probably will be allowed to do so.

[onethatcares]

23. worse

the * didn't have the resources to be as big an asshole.

[MiniMe]

24. Definitely worse, the problem is his ego

[LenaBaby61]

27. MUCH worse La Liones Priyanka ....

Because now you have a Supreme Court that Cheeto Benito will stack which will greatly impact our lives in negative and grotesque ways for a generation PLUS.

You think voter suppression was bad under Bush or even Pres. Obama.

Wait until you see it under Cheeto and his bellow band of Merry deplorables.

We're triple screwed now

[hollowdweller]

28. Hard to know

If he makes good on helping workers better.

However his cabinet choices are way worse than Bush.

[neeksgeek]

29. Worse.

[wcmagumba]

30. America...

as I have known it, with all its faults is effectively gone...imo

[GoCubsGo]

31. We are so f---ed.

This shitstain on humanity is going to make Bush look like the love child of FDR and Gandhi. I don't believe our country, as we know it, is going to survive.

[madinmaryland]

32. It's really hard to say...

As bad as * was he had connections that allowed him to let the unthinkable happen and then lie us into a war, which today is still resonating in the middle east. tRump is an unknown quantity. He may be far worse than *, though on the other hand nothing may happen, if he cannot get consensus on anything. To add, I do not think he is legitimate, but unfortunately it looks like we will be stuck with him. My concern is that the social progress that has been made over the last eight years could be wiped out in a matter of months, including all of the Supreme Court decisions. An all out assault on what we consider basic human rights.

[montana_hazeleyes]

35. A billion times worse.

I feel doom like never before. Ever. And I'm 68 years old and have seen and been through so much. But this is different.

[cemaphonic]

40. Bush had an agenda, and a team that knew how to play politics.

Trump has a bunch of (politically improbable) soundbites, a "throw the bums out" attitude, and has demonstrated little evidence that he's willing to put in the actual work of being President. Not to mention a pretty hostile relationship with even the Republicans in Congress.

I think he'll be like Jesse Ventura's governorship once he figures out that he can't just order people around, and that his days will be filled with people hounding him for decisions 24/7.

He'll still be plenty damaging due to incompetence, and as a rubber stamp to a Republican Congress, but I don't think he has the ability to actually implement very many of his more extreme notions.

[Arkansas Granny]

41. Worse, much worse. GWB knew he was out of his league whereas DT thinks he's the smartest

man in the room. I don't expect he will take advice from anyone, he's got such a good brain, you know.

[kentuck]

43. It will be unpredictable.

He has said that he likes to be "unpredictable". Which means, no one knows.

It is the fear of the unknown that makes it dangerous.

"After all, what have you got to lose?"

It's mind over matter...if you don't mind, it don't matter.

[Calculating]

44. Worse

GWB at least surrounded himself with a team of somewhat competent individuals. Trump is surrounding himself with the residents of the insane asylum.

[taught_me_patience]

45. Bush's reign will look like Camelot

compared to the current Caligula.

[LAS14]

46. Worse!!!!!!

[Raine1967]

47. His nominees are already a million times worse.

I think that says it all.

[NRaleighLiberal]

48. endless nightmare type worse.

[skylucy]

49. Oh my god...Much much worse. As bad as Bush was, what we are about to experience, I fear,

will be unlike anything we have experienced before. The degree of Trump's ignorance, mental instability, corruption, dishonesty, selfishness and arrogance is truly a threat to America and the world.

[WhiteTara]

50. Worse by a Brazillian.

[tinrobot]

52. However it pans out, it will not end well.

[thegoose]

53. Well..

Some of us lived through the Murder Monkey's administration.

[Charles Bukowski]

54. Trump is a blight of humanity and his victory already qualifies

as one of the lowest points in our history.

His presidency will undoubtedly be the worst we've ever seen.

[doc03]

56. It is "W" on steroids nt
