Bush II was a complete and utter disaster as a president. The worst in my lifetime.

I was damn lucky to survive. Literally, I was in NYC, a quarter mile away from ground zero, and I was unemployed when the economy collapsed in 2008.

Bush II would be a superior choice over Trump. If you cannot be motivated to vote against Trump, then I really cannot help you.

Tough one, not sure who would be worse, GWB or Trump. Don't want to find out. (n/t) thesquanderer Jun 2016 #1

Bush was dumb and accepted it. Trump is even dumber but thinks he's a genius. Yavin4 Jun 2016 #5

Yes, that would be a difficult "accomplishment" but one thing the Trumpanzee has proved is that every time you think he's hit rock bottom, you're wrong. He can always go lower.

That makes Trump far more dangerous than Bush II.

GWB is an idiot and a horrific neocon. But Trump is an insane person. He cannot be relied upon to not start a nuclear war. Even Chimpy didn't threaten nukes when people got under his skin.

The other guy is completely unfit to be president, and he may get you killed.
