    If only the Republican party had a George H.W. Bush type of leader in this day and age.

    I don’t know why my comments are suddenly all disappeared again. Absolutely, President Bush is a great President. Although, he was only one term President, but often this was only temporary luck only. It won’t decrease his lifetime great leadership experiences at all. He is very honest, principled, sincere and generous mind to others by helping others to understand more and do better in the future. Yet, he is very patriotic and loyal to our country America. His decency never wants to see others to be doomed, but brings his hand out to help and support by correct recognition for America’s greatness, I guess. He also is being able to communicate with his own party and others to get things done. I guess he is a very sentimental typed person and I often see him became emotional as tears out by things touched his soft heart. I guess many of his children or grandchildren have similar characters. I just feel that ways. I love President Bush and his families. I wish President Bush healthy and long life.

    Different peoples have different ways to initiate conversations as communications. Different Parties still needs getting things done quickly together by initiating conversations as communications for getting things done quickly either agree or disagree. Older leaders may be more cautious by accumulated experiences. Younger leaders maybe more enthusiastic and more energies to talk more by sudden feelings or thoughts. Earlier Democrat Party maybe more different as more moderate too. Whatever what to think, only being able to communicate with each other will be able to know the better or worse and how to change mistakes quickly for achieving America’s greatness, strength for Americans’ happiness by preserving freedoms, entrepreneurship spirit and equality of opportunities principles and societies quickly together. President Bush 41’s long time accumulated business and governing experiences obviously all know and can’t be denied. His great manners, humbleness accompanied with his kindness and decency nature and loyalty toward his boss and partner the President Reagan and others governing leaders are also being recognized and appreciated by President Reagan, other leaders or most Americans at the time. President Clinton lost father in his early age and he might wish he could have a father as President Bush 41 by his grace and kindness naturally. President Bush 43’s saying as brothers, I guess as initiating communications and easier for communications or helping getting things done quickly we’re saying for communication better for getting things done quickly as to each other kindly as all possible, because no one will initiate communications by pointing fingers 1st, but by creating better atmosphere for being able to communicate quickly for getting things done quickly. Especially in free speech and free electoral election campaign systems of societies, all can speak and all can either win or loose. However, as Americans together may can’t forget President Reagan’s and President Bush’s great leadership experiences and efforts, visions and wisdom to preserving freedoms, entrepreneurship spirit and equality of opportunities kindness and principles which really helped and achieved greatness and strength by Americans’ happiness at the time together. I voted for anything of freedoms, entrepreneurship spirit and equality of opportunities principles, because I love our country America 🇺🇸 dearly for freedoms, entrepreneurship spirit and equality of opportunities principles and societies. I also believe that great governing leaders will bring visions, wisdom, to reunite our great country together again by decency and grace at critical time by learning opportunities and experiences together at critical time, doing better together, focusing on getting things done quickly and govern bylaws afterwards together quickly again, because looking from a big picture as one great nation together, learn from principles as one nation quickly will learn effectively and efficiently together, move forward quickly and getting things done quickly together for the best strategies to bring best policies to achieve getting things done quickly. Only things are getting done quickly, Americans will be able to live peacefully by stable jobs for stable life. Only getting things done quickly, Americans will be able to work hard to take care of families and build our country America’s greatness and strength quickly together. America 🇺🇸 is Americans’ homeland. Americans’ happiness will only depend upon our country America’s greatness, strength to take care of Americans together, because besides America’s homeland, no anywhere to rely on. Americans are not asking too much, but freedoms, entrepreneurship spirit and equality of opportunities to live and achieve for happiness. I supported Gov. Bush before, because he has great qualities of the leadership which succeeded Florida’s greatness at the time. He doesn’t talk too much, but his kindness and decency nature has being able to communicate quickly with other leaders for getting things done quickly by unity styles and understanding principles, patriotism spirit, visions and wisdom toward peace domestically and peace efforts in the world by alliances together, by communications for principles to avoid nuclear weapons capabilities of wars or the 3rd world wars possibilities. Winning or loosing by luck. Liberty 🗽 and equality of opportunities principles, greatness and strength, how to deal with better results quickly at critical time, getting things done quickly together and govern bylaws afterwards together quickly together will have to rely on proven experienced, able leadership to achieve and accomplish goals by knowing why and how, I guess.

    I have no idea that the former President Bush 41 voted 53% for Democrat Party’s President. I guess earlier days, Democrat Party was more different than now. I guess I will vote for whoever will get things done too. However, I also feel nowadays, often Democrat Party has been more focused on ideologies instead of America’s principles. I always know that President Bush is a foreign policy expert. He knows how to go further, when to stop. Mostly he got things best done accordingly with proven results by his principles, appropriate communication and great wisdoms. Also he is the one much low appreciated by what he has done. Maybe his great humbleness and consideration for others causes that. However, if we carefully review the past, I guess his understanding of America’s principles by his very reasonable genuine heart, he may deserve our much more appreciation and learning experiences too. The former President Clinton had no father, since he was very young. Later he became a politician too and became the President of our country. President Bush 41’s kindness to see him as his own son. It doesn’t necessarily he agreees with him everything at all. Most very experienced politicians just listen more and thinks more only and does whatever principles say, I guess. I also believe that sons and father must have some similarities, but it doesn’t mean sons will be father. However, I believe that President Bush 41 and all of his children are all ones to put America 1st by their patriotism and loyalty toward our country America. No doubt about Gov. Bush is a very honest, humble and generous mind person as well as a great principled governing leadership too. I just say that from heart honesty. I pray Gov. Bush’s quality will be able to continue serve and contribute to our country. I believe that Bush family love their great country America dearly and recognize America’s own principles of freedom and equality of the opportunities solidly by America’s Foundations and Constitution. I wish our country’s principles and unity altogether for America’s greatness.

    The problem with Bush is that he thought people were actually voting for him. People were actually voting for a 3rd Reagan term and instead Bush fractured the Republican Party and lost in ‘92.

    As if two terms of dismantling America weren't enough with Reagan's first two terms! I mean, Reagan closed down the mental health facilities, and look how well that's turned out (especially for the GOP, who uses aforementioned mental patients to fill up it's voting bloc AND leadership)!
