I'll vote Trump, by far.
Bush was a shitty public speaker and made many foreign policy mistakes but actually seems like a fairly decent, intelligent guy.

I know the question is which one of these two, but I'm going with a third option and say the people that voted for them. If "compassionate conservatism" & "make America great again" gets you all feelly inside you are on a different level. Ignorance at this point is a choice and they keep choosing to go with that so yeah I think their supporters are the benchmark.

Bush is pretty dumb, IMHO. I don't think Trump is dumb but more a egomaniac who is supported by dumb people. He reminds me of Adolf Hitler in many ways.

Not even close Bush is a rocket scientist next to the likes of the dumpster, ego or not, it makes him a dumb man and that's dangerous.

Even Obama is quite fond of Bush Jnr, says he's a nice guy and very misunderstood.

He misunderstood us right into the Crash of 2008.

If Presidents are supposed to be economists then we've never actually had a President.
Blaming Bush solely is a weak viewpoint btw, it was a perfect storm and all a President could do is try direct policy to attempt to mitigate it.
It's called a "Black Swan" for a reason.
(No I'm not defending Bush, but at least have a go at him for things he directly caused).

If you think policies he deliberately pushed and enacted did not have a direct casual effect on the crash that happened at the end of his presidency I'm never going to take your comments on economics seriously again.

A President cannot do anything in a vacuum.
Lots of people bought houses they couldn't afford (whether for investment or for domestic use) despite having the warnings laid out.
As I said, Bush could have pushed policies that could have helped mitigate it but alas still nothing has changed; have you seen the levels of private debt in this country?

His policies were a disaster; trying to blame the citizens is weak sauce.

I'm not blaming any one entity, I'm saying it was a perfect storm where a number of risk factors came together.
That's because I understand economics rather than just claiming to.
Bush was far from perfect but not the idiot people make him out to be.
You should try objectivity sometime.

I have.
If Shrubbery hadn't enacted the policies he championed, the Crash of 2008 wouldn't have happened.
And you've said exactly nothing that casts doubt on that assertion.
If you actually were trained in economics, you'd have come at this altogether differently, so I'm not buying that line of shit either, Stinkydigit.

I never claimed to be trained in economics, I think I've made it pretty obvious without directly saying it that I did Computer Science.
What I said was that I understand it, and if you can't see how all the micro and macro economic factors combined to produce the 08 Recession then why are you even posting?
