Interesting. I've heard GWB called many things, but 'classy' has never been one of them. His foreign policy blunders were indeed monumental - particularly the Iraq war of course which was his biggest mistake. One thing I found really strange about Jeb's campaign was that he like to say his brother kept us safe - despite the twin towers being a pile of rubble - and his campaign strategy at the start of his campaign (financed by few rich folks) was called "shock and awe' - so this guy took the name from his brother's biggest failure for his campaign strategy hahaha.. Brilliant! During a debate when Jeb was going on about how is bro kept us safe, Trump finally called him out on it and pointed out that duhhh he didn't keep us safe just look at 9/11. That was troubling me I didn't sleep all night because I agreed with Trump on something lol lol lol But this is how the GOP rolls these days - there is no way they're going to say GWB made a mistake ..ya know other than Trump.
