If the Democrats had a time machine and could bring the George W. Bush of 2000 into the present day, they might suppose he would switch parties to join the chorus of voices criticising the way this administration has failed our military. But they would be disappointed. The Bush of 2000 was only kidding when he said “we must not fail them.”
Surely the total disaster of this administration isn’t something that happens by accident.
