Bush speaks on divisive state of American politics [View all]

I'm watching his speech on CNN right now (from the George W Bush Institute). He sounds like a genius and a true leader compared to Trump. I used to hate Bush with a fiery passion, but I would gladly take him over Trump right now. At least he doesn't act like a toddler, and he's willing to listen to people with expertise.
