Now it’s the turn of Rep Bob Good (R-VA), new chairman of the Freedom Caucus, who incidentally and successfully primaried Freedom Caucus Denver Riggleman (R-VA) back in the day, to earn his nomination:
Asked whether he’s [Rep Good] concerned about Trump potentially coming after him in a primary, Good said: “I respect President Trump and I look forward to having a great working relationship with him in whatever capacity,” adding that he would back Trump if he became the nominee and called him “the best president of my lifetime.” [CNN/Politics]
Given that he’s near my age, that means LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, and Obama do not measure up to Trump. To suggest the man who failed to pass, or even submit, infrastructure bills and AHCA, along with the failure of the 2017 tax reform, all while practicing daily mendacity and hypocrisy. Not to mention potential betrayal to various national adversaries.
OK, so Nixon doesn’t measure up. LBJ’s involvement in Vietnam makes him questionable. Carter’s bad luck is mitigated by his devotion to nation since. The balance? I don’t care for Bush II at all, but to suggest Trump even came close to the rest is laughable.
