A famous phrase from the Bush 43 era. The GOP was just as arrogant back then but at least they weren't totally stupid. Bush 43 was a reader, non-fiction no less, & he added to the pandemic response structure that Clinton started. I was disappointed he didn't endorse Harris or at the very least make a public statement against Trump before the election. (Did he? Maybe I missed it.)
