Look, I'm not glossing over the fact that he carried the water for Herr Bush during his first term (and I'm sure a lot of his anti-Trump rhetoric was out of loyalty to the same crowd). He did look like a fool when he announced the weapons of mass destruction line at the UN. Still, compared to the neo-cons like Rumsfeld and Cheney (or Kissinger for that matter), he really doesn't look all that bad.

Anyway, when you wish bad things for people you disagree with, well, it doesn't make for a peaceful world when the other side does the same thing to you.

I will, however, make an exception if something not so nice happens to Trump.
