23. going after the "poorly educated" demographic

Sure Bush was eventually disdained by a lot of Republicans / Independents for Iraq, and for the economy. I don't remember when the last POTUS of a party was not invited to the first conference after their term was completed, a two termer at that. He was dropped like a hot potato. I am always somewhat blown away of the Republican rank and file in their ability to switch, on a dime, from adoration, and fierce defending of the 'commander in chief' when in office, and then not only attempt to erase him from memory, but to then elect someone that openly criticizes him and his whole family in the crudest fashion.

But there is one segment of the Republican base that still relates to W, and that's the poorly educated, the fellow morans that don't even know that its not fashionable in more elite R circles to like him anymore. He just speaks their language, and that's all that matters. I'm sure that is the plan with W. I just would not really understand if he takes them up on it after all the abuse Trump has laid on his family.

That's desperation. The Velveteen Ocelot Sep 2018 #1
