    We just lost one of the nicest a most prominently pleasant Republican Icons of the last century. I cannot help but think of Barbara Bush in the context of what the Party has become. Todays Trump party bares no resemblance to the standards and inherent goodness she embodied worldwide....she is missed and the world is poorer with her loss.

    From the philanderers Kennedy to LBJ to Clinton to FDR, back to slavery, the democrats have never fallen because they had nothing to fall from.

    Not a patch on the full time race-baiters and race agitators Barack and Michelle Obama. Still, thank you for playing. It's a hoot to listen to the double-think rationalization processes of Never-Trumpers.

    When you cant defend your own, you blame the other. That’s why.

    Barbra Bush was from the era of class, and she was a very classy lady

    It is either the sickness fueled by out of control political hatred or some inherent mental defect present in the character ( or lack of) of the person who feels driven and or obligated to,post such fecal matter.

    I am not going to set off a pissing contest of body counts but this sickness exist in the "people" from both sides of the political spectrum.

    No you do not need to blame the other if you defend your own. That is childish.

    What about a daughter dying, no funeral , not telling her brother for several days, and a round of golf the next day? Sorry, I call that weird, unfeeling, cold, and demented...

    I don't think Babsy was the saint everyone thinks because she knew when to put on a good act to get her dynasty elected.

    Actually I created this thread because Barbara Bush died and I liked her, I like her husband as well and in fact voted for him...voted for his Boss as well. There was a single mention of "Trumps Party" which it very clearly has become and a comparison to her beautiful persona vs. what you are now presenting to everyone who can read here. Show a little respect for a woman who wonderfully represented what the party stood for before people like YOU turned it into something nasty.

    That helps explain why they're sometimes referred to as the deplorables.

    Rarely have I found someone worthy of the "Ignore" function...but you have clearly earned it.

    Buh Bye.

    You can have the decency not to post the later of your post.
