re: #113 Eclectic Cyborg

Agree completely. My comment was in reference to the fact that on the merits of his character and history ALONE he should never have been considered electable in the first place by any sane person, Liberal or Conservative leaning.

It’s not as though the Republican establishment supported him during the primaries — it was the Republican base that saw him and said this is the guy they want. Bush flamed out early and no other candidate had any significant popular support; the establishment definitely opposed him.
