He was 94 and is survived by his five children and their spouses, 17 grandchildren, eight great grandchildren, and two siblings," the former president's office said in a statement.

Two things about that guy that stood out to me.
1) after Noriega was arrested, Bush swore up and down that when he was the director of the CIA he had no knowledge of Noriega"s drug running.
2) He and the other living ex-presidents stood shoulder to shoulder in opposition to Trump.
 
Thoughts go out to his family and friends during this difficult time.
Even though he's been doing horrible for a while now, Im sure it's still extremely difficult on them

Lets see how the media fawns eloquently over a Republican they did their best to destroy.
Then, cut to one of the children..or grandchildren..to talk about how disgusting Trump is.

When you watch the media coverage you can pretty well see how we were played like a cheap fiddle.
 
He was in many ways a great president that would have been reelected had Ross Perot not run against him.

Clinton won with something like 39% of the total vote. Clearly most of the Perot voters would have voted republican had Ross not run. Perot in many ways was in a similar situation as Trump, although he was more polished.

Interesting impact that elections - and candidates - have.

Absolutely right on the split R votes
