Why are Michelle Obama, and others, embracing/promoting W? [View all]

Let me attempt an answer to my own question.

I suppose that since W has been speaking out against Trump to some extent, it might be seen that he could provide cover for some repubs to take more aggressive steps against Trump.

If so, there has to be a better way. W is a war criminal, and another stupid man and stooge for the rich, who managed to attain the presidency through corrupt politics. He is one of the precursors to Trump, lowering the bar for entry to the office.

Shame on anyone who promotes him as a reasonable person and worthy of anything other than jail.
