before and my gosh, i spent as you know very well eight years harshly criticizing george w. bush. >> i remember. >> i know you do. we had heated arguments about that. george w. bush had the ability to not only take al gore apart and cut him to shreds with a look but ann richards, one of the toughest debaters out there called him shrub. ann richards left that debate not knowing what had happened to her. we keep talking about the voters and we keep talking about trump and we keep talking about carson. we keep talking about the failures of american democracy. i think so much of it has to do with the failure of the republican establishment in not putting forward a strong enough candidate to step forward and make the clear argument they're entertainment. they're fun. i laugh at them when i listen to them.
