3. Oh. I'm not watching the SB so didn't know what that referred to.

4. My thoughts exactly. I am no Bush fan ....Poppy nor Shrub

But he is an old man now and continuing to bash Poppy serves no good purpose. For tRump, I Can make an exception. Taunt him until the day he dies. And forget about cheering crowds!

5. George HW Bush seems like the last "somewhat" sane and honest republican president

In my lifetime.

6. That's why they one-termed him...

7. He looked so fragile.

8. I shudder to think what Trump will do if he has to preside at Bush the elder's funeral.

It will be a national embarrassment (and we are already rich with those).

I feel morbid even considering such a thing but Trump will manage to bring it around to himself somehow, as he always does.

He represents an era when Republicans were still mostly wrong, but at least they were wrong within acceptable limits. Trump is about blowing the whole thing up.
