14. While W hates Trump, he is part of the problem.

Remember his South Carolina push poll against Senator McCain in 2000? That racist filth helped him defeat McCain for the R nomination.

Think about what the world would have been like if McCain or Gore had won in 2000. That was McCain's real chance, as 2008 was a drastically different world, in large part because of W.

W is disgusting, but the enemy of our current enemy is our friend. So, for the timebeing, his attacks are acceptable.

Never forget that the Republican Party foisted stalwarts like W, Cheney, Palin, Pence and Trump. Mediocrities would be giving them far too much praise. What a line-up!
