Bush is such an unpopular loser, that democrats can't force him onto republicans. Even they hate him. Bush has already been filed into the amnesia can.

I understand he landed a cushy dream job as a 'Ball Dude' for an East Texas Double-A baseball team. Free hot dogs and beer - Woohoo!

He wants no part in politics anymore. I can't really blame him. He was a puppet and I don't think he fully realized it until after he got out of office. He was an idiot with bad politics, who surrounded himself with evil men.

The ranch was a prop. he bought it to run for governor and sold it after the presidency.

He is a city boy, born and bred.

Neither of these really apply to Clinton.
