quick survey?
If you had to vote today and the choice was George W. Bush vs Donald Trump who would you vote for?
I'd vote Bush myself without hesitation.

It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God. 1 Peter 2:16
Not difficult for me: I've always been a fan of George, and still am.

George W. Bush. His nomination of Samuel Alito was enough to make him a good president.
GW without a doubt.

To the extent that a Brit's vote counts ... I have enormous respect for GW Bush .. he's tried and tested, his War on Terror was the perfect response to 9/11. Even so .. I'd want to give Trump a chance. He definitely has the right instincts, he's his own man, he undoubtedly will do whatever it takes to take care of America's interests, not least your national security. Yes, I say - give Trump a chance. My 'vote' is for Trump !
It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!
I like them both. Different men of different times, even though only 8-16 years apart.
But I like GWB more as a religious man. He seems to be more genuine than the majority out there. He truly came off as a man that loved his country. He loves the troops and folks are unaware that he STILL does things with them to this day. This isn't a knock on Trump, I just love GWB. A lot of emotion went on during his presidency due to wars, but I think ultimately he will go down as a great president.
As a New Yorker, I also identify with Trump. I understand the attitude of folks that are pissed off with the typical crap in DC. People are pissed at the lack of borders and control. People are pissed at ISIS. People are pissed at a lack of jobs. People are pissed at a lot of things today, and I honestly don't think this "pissed off" stuff was as bad just 8 or 16 years ago.

GWBush was ABSOLUTELY wrong on his stand regarding the Mexican border, WRONG PROSECUTING THOSE TWO BORDER AGENTS AND WRONG WHEN AFTER 9/11 HE SAID ISLAM IS NOT OUR ENEMY.
SO LETS NOT GET CARRIED AWAY IN SAYING HE IS SOME KIND OF PERFECTION.
I like both he and Trump , each for different reasons.
If little brother can not place(win) the primary on his own over Trump then we'd be better served to have Trump.
I have been some truly dangerous, serious fights over my life and never once did I request help from my older brother!!
Had I ever done so, I'd never forgiven myself for that weakness. Ans a weakness it is IMHO.
JUST ANOTHER HAMMER TO HIT TRUMP WITH IMHO.
Trump's comments about Bush pissed me off too but no one single candidate is perfect.
NOW IF TRUMP CONTINUES AND ESCALATES IT THEN HE IS LIKELY TO LOSE ME AS WELL.
HE HAD BETTER LEARN FAST WHEN TO DROP ACTIONS/WORDS THAT WILL COMPLETELY PISS OFF

Agree with both points. To clarify : I've not once said that Dubya was perfection personified - he did a few things that I didn't agree with. Hell, I'm sure he did things that HE didn't agree with, just because politically he had to.. that's the nature of the game.
But he's a good man, and was a great President.
I don't hold Jeb using Dubya to assist in his campaign as a weakness. It's risky because so many Americans feel the opposite of what I do about him - but Jeb knows that now is the time to roll the dice, because he's losing right now by quite a margin. Using W is a valid above-board strategy.I like both he and Trump , each for different reasons.

I already said my piece in the GOP / CBS thread.Trump's comments about Bush pissed me off too but no one single candidate is perfect.

About the only way I see to coming back into the Trump camp now is a statement from Trump saying he was wrong about Dubya, 9/11, WMDs, the lie accusations, etc. That stuff was verbatim the bile that Gabby, Pete, Bully, Virgil, Psychobabble and all the other moonbats have said right here on DP... I was stunned to watch him say that last night, and extremely disappointed. More than disappointed, maybe appalled is a better word.
We all know that the facts show what he said last night is bullshit. All of us here, you included, Tyr, have spent the last 13 years destroying the moonbats that say that crap with facts showing that to be wrong.
My nose is seriously out of joint over this, right or wrong.

He's not going to correct himself, very doubtful. I don't think he's a fan of GWB and Jeb alike, and doesn't realize this will hurt him. How much will be the question. And will any of the others somehow use this to go after him? Thing is, after this debate, and we'll have to see what happens now in SC - the more that stay in the better it is for Trump. I'm not saying this as a supporter of his but rather the reality of things. The longer Bush/Rubio/Cruz keep after one another and remain in the race, this helps Trump. I think somehow at least one of them needs to go before super tuesday. I don't know. Even better if they all rallied around one candidate. Otherwise, the free for all continues, and it doesn't appear any of them can catch up.
