Everybody knows you never go full retard.

Donald Trump let his hatred of the Bush family get the best of him last night. He has enjoyed giving Jeb wedgies and swirlies all primary season. So much so that Jeb’s Mommy had to get involved. Jeb’s Mom is the most involved Presidential mom in history. He mentions her in every speech. In every appearance. I mean the other candidates mention their parents. Ted Cruz’s Dad is a hero for his escape from Castro’s Cuba. John Kasich’s father is a hero because he had a vasectomy so that he didn’t knock up all of the housewives he banged when he was a mailman. Who needs more John Kasich’s running around for crying out loud? Marco Rubio is proud of his Dad for his orchestra and his hit recording of "Babalu.” I am sure that Ben Carson would be proud of his Dad but he is black so he probably doesn’t know who he is. And Donald Trump loved his Dad Fred because he was the first person to lend him money that he didn’t pay back. Memories.

Now we are upping the ante. George W Bush is becoming an issue in the campaign. Another member of the Bush family we can argue about who has nothing to do with Jeb’s qualifications for the job. Trump’s hatred of the Bush’s is so deep that he went full retard. He claimed that Bush lied about the WMD’s to get us into Iraq. He also said that 911 happened under his watch. Both questionable approaches in a Republican Primary but possibly a big positive in the general election. You could see that if Trump was running against Hillary who the millennials really despise that being against the endless wars in the Middle East might be a positive.

I have complicated feelings about George W. Bush. I supported him when he was President and scoff at the liberals who still blame everything on him. I loved him for the enemies that he made. With that said I am not blind to his mistakes. I think his biggest mistake was after 911. He jumped to a politically correct position that Islam was not to blame for the attacks. He started the meme that we can’t blame the Muslims and that we need to worry about the “feelings” of the Muslims while the bodies were still smoking in the streets. Did Franklin Roosevelt worry about the Jap’s feelings after Pearl Harbor? Bush started us off on the road that brought Barrack Hussien Obama to the White House and the destruction and misery that has engulfed so many areas in the world.

I have to ultimately blame Ronald Reagan. It was his biggest mistake. Making Papa Bush his Vice President. Bush did not continue Reagan’s legacy. The reaction and revulsion to Papa Bush gave us the Clintons and all of their corruption that continues to plague us to this very day. The reaction to W brought us Obama. If only Reagan had picked Laxalt or some other reliable conservative we might have been spared the Bush’s and the Clintons.

Trumps venting on W is an unforced error. His view is not my view. But to answer Bags this is not enough for me to drop him. We have enough of the Bush’s and the Clintons. They need to be placed in the dustbin of history. Trump is right on the three biggest questions in my view. Immigration.  Trade policy. Destroying ISIS and keeping our nose out of other people’s business. Trump is the natural heir of Pat Buchanan’s voters. He is an isolationist/populist with an “America First” attitude. With the ability to draw on many other segments of the electorate that Cruz or Carson or Rubio could never touch. We do not agree on the social issues like abortion and religious rights. I am willing to ignore that to make a seismic change. It is time to bust it open. No more politicians. No more lawyers. No more Washington insiders. No more minions of the Duopoly. For good or ill Donald Trump will do that.

He might be bad but he can’t be worse.
