2004 election was held during the 4 months that the Iraq War appeared to be going well.

The Swiftboaters were such a crock of shit that Republicans were even using it to mean slandering your opponent just a few years later.

Well they have certainly done a good job. I doubt anyone thinks Bush was the worst any more!

Well, he was back then. Now, more like second worst.

I would say Pierce, Trump, Johnson, Raegan, and Buchanan are worse. But I would put W as sixth worse.

I don't know, he actually got a shit ton of people killed and also paved the path for ISIS to be formed who killed even more people. Trump's international damage is nowhere near close.

Trump normalized white supremacy for a lot of Americans. Let go it was already widespread but now it is officially considered 'normal' among Republicans. It will take some time to undo that.

I would pay money to have 4 more years of Bush instead of having Trump for 4 years.
