Republicans who voted for Bush but not Trump are not conservatives. They are mostly war hawks who supported the GOP because they favored higher military spending. On most other issues, they largely agree with the Democratic party agenda. Many were aupportive of Obama because he was a hawkish president who got us involved several wars. Trump campaigned against many of the wars that the hawkish Republicans supported and he also has been skeptical of our relationship with our NATO allies. Because Trump wants to reduce our global military presence, Democrats want to maintain it. Hawkish Republicans will keep voting Democrat until the GOP goes back to its hawkish ways.

I got a question for the right wingers who voted to re-elect Bush Jr in 2004 but probably won't vote to re-elect Trump.
Bush Jr was a terrible president but won re-election back in 2004 with approval ratings in the 40's.
How can they vote for him again but not Trump?
In my opinion, Trump is the best out of the past several presidents.
After Bush Jr's presidency ended most Republicans hated him (including me).
? You ask this question like the election is already over. No one predicted that he would win 4 years ago, what makes you think you can predict it now?
Excerpt:Bush Jr was a terrible president but won re-election back in 2004 with approval ratings in the 40's.
How can they vote for him again but not Trump?
Response:
President Donald Trump has no opposition of merit. The Democratic Part inability to produce any figure of substance is blasphemous at best...

I am NOT a Bush fan, but he was better than Gore and Kerry. Not by much though.

It's not just that but that every Republican President since Eisenhower has been "terrible". That's the mindset. Well, until they leave office and say what they'd been saying all along but because it came from a Republican it was "bad". Now it's good, though.

Reagan and Trump have been the best, but I don't disagree. Republicans became Democrat Lite. The go along to get along party, afraid of the MEDIA, and rightfully so, however.
