Was George Sr. a good president? The only ones I've known were Bill Clinton, Dubya, and Obama.
Good to see he has some common sense.

You mean the man running a private business who constantly brags about his wealth isn't concerned about the status of private businesses and wealth?
Well I never
It's a shame that hooligan Homer Simpson ran him out of town. Disgraceful.
But yeah, that note. Goddamn, I can't imagine any politician writing that for his rival in the current political climate.

Good on him. And that letter he left to Bill was indeed very classy.

GHWB is still the good Bush. If only his namesake had been like him.
Some people are saying he isn't.
There's something going on here folks, believe me. You know what I mean.

This election hardly seems like a democratic vs republican thing, so I don't think this will count for much in the polls.

Yes, Trump pleeeease go after a decorated WW2 veteran and respected former President.
I believe he's considered a solid, unspectacular president. Considerably more well regarded than his son obviously.

He was smart enough to stop at the Kuwait border.
He wasn't smart enough to not make promises he couldn't keep, most infamously "Read my lips: No New Taxes".
In the end he fell victim to being 3rd-partied by Ross Perot, who siphoned enough Republican votes to hand the Presidency to Bill Clinton, ending more than a decade of Republican control of the White House.
Allegedly.

With each thread and post, your mask cracks just a little more. I would suggest stopping if you don't want to just fully give yourself away, or just stop giving a fuck and reveal yourself as the Trump supporter we all know you are and try to be as civil as possible.

Would be quite something if every living president voted Hillary.

Please do, it would be SO easy for Trump to spin it as a negative if Dubya endorsed Hillary.
He could hammer her on Iraq and 2008 even harder.

I expect to wake up in the morning to a tweet from Trump calling H.W. a loser for being a one term president lol.

I was like 5 when he became president but from what I've read, he is mostly remembered for successfully beating back Saddam's army from Kuwait during the 1st Gulf War and raising taxes despite campaigning on no new taxes (which killed him in re-election). I think the economy slowed down a little as well.

I wasn't alive during his presidency, but I haven't heard anything about it, both good or bad.
So... I guess he was OK? He's probably going to be one of those presidents that just come and go with little to say about them.

That's not a correct usage, though; only the first clause in that sentence was an independent clause.

1 term president despite being at war. This will largely ring hollow with Trump voters.
Now if Dubya says he's voting Hillary...

Citizens united front man seems status quo to me.
I can tolerate you.
His wife Barbara was negative on the Simpsons too, another reason for that episode, though oddly enough the episode had an entirely positive portrayal of her.

You mean the war that Trump supported, but continues lying about supporting, but Hillary admits to and now sees it as a mistake? Yeah, Iraq is really somewhere Donald Trump wants to go. It'd be great, really, because it'd just continue to solidify your white supremacist as the lying piece of shit that he is.

Ah, do you agree that Trump never supported the Iraq War?
Fuck. This killed me. HARD.
I know everyone says "Saturday Night Live was best when I was in high school/college," but I feel comfortable with this statement when I see sketches like that. Such a great era..

He was losing anyhow.
It was a full blown recession.
"It's the economy, stupid" was a thing for a reason.

To many of the established base of Trump, you're right. But I do think this will ring to the more moderate Republicans. I don't know if it'll make a huge difference, but I think the narrative that a former GOP President, who was VP to the Legendary Reagan, and largely followed and is associated with said legend, isn't a narrative you really want to have either. Obama, Bill and Carter are just sort of assumed, and energize the left. Someone so prominent from the other side jumping ship, publicly, is pretty unprecedented. I can't think of such an example off the top of my head.
Has any living president endorsed Trump?
More support is always good, and yes,that Simpson's impression and episode of HW is funny as hell.

Stern: "Are you for invading Iraq?"
Trump: "Yeah, I guess so."
Just leaving that here.

I thought Trump supporters don't do guilty by association?
after all, a lot of prominent white supremacists endorsed Trump
