Just my luck. I spent the last of my book money on Elizabeth Warren's latest release.

#2 What do they say about Obama?

#3 Poor guys are having a tough time accepting the fact that the voters rejected their little clan when they put Jeb against Trump. Trump hasn't hurt the party. The party hurt itself by running milquetoast, RINO candidates like McCain, Romney and Jeb. Trump is trying to fix it.

#4 #2 What do they say about Obama? I can't think of anything they have said about Obama. George H.W. is reported to have voted for Hillary. George H.W. Bush has also been reported to say that "Slick Willy" is like a son to him. Must be an Arkansas connection.

I'm beginning to get buyer's remorse from the Bushes.

Yes, I have been wrong before. Looks as though I was 'wrong' yet again.

#6 Choosing the least bad of lousy choices is more prudent than wrong.

Cleanest dirty shirt thang, imo.

#7 AlGore and John Kerry would have been better? I don't think so

#9 Engineer by training, genetics, and disposition, JohnQC. I like it succinct and brief

#10 AlGore and John Kerry would have been better? I don't think so

Yeah, well, that was the problem, wasn't it?

I might have gone for a third party in 2004 as a protest vote but I couldn't bear the thought of Teresa Heinz-Kerry in the White House and her ugly mug in the TV news every night.

#11 The Bushes have always comported themselves according to the precepts of noblesse oblige.

They believe that they are worthy of rule and will not fight on behalf of the peons. They are most comfortable with those who also feel that they are true leaders. People like Hillary, Joe, Kerry, Bill are, for that reason, accepted.

Trump doesn't fit that model so................

#12 They believe that they are worthy of rule and will not fight on behalf of the peons.

That's exactly opposite of noblesse oblige. I think you mean elitism

#13 Noblesse Oblige the obligation of honorable, generous, and responsible behavior associated with high rank or birth

Never said they weren't generous g(r)om, but they don't want to hear from the peons. They expect the peons to be grateful to their betters.

#14 They said nothing when Obama pretty much fired everyone in my industry in my state.

They said nothing when Obama supported the Moslem Brotherhood's putsch in Egypt.

They said nothing when Obama released some 150 billion dollars to Iran, which paid for (among many other things) a Russian bombing campaign in Syria.

#15 Back in 2000 I preferred McCain over W. Now I'm not a fan of either. Funny how that works. Still Gore is far worse.
