    You’re right. I only remember him from the 2000 debates. I don’t believe he was allowed to debate in 1996 and 2008.

      The situation with Trump today is significantly different. Whatever flaws #42 had, they pale in comparison to the flaws of #45 - both in quality and quantity. And the plain fact is that the country has so many problems today that there's plenty of stuff to complain about beyond presidential personality flaws. You can look to Democrat/Biden advertising to see that the platform isn't focusing on Trump's character as much as they're focusing on the actual problems that need to be addressed. I don't think there's any need to worry about avoiding past mistakes here in this election.

      In my humble opinion.
      Your argument is sound. For me, that election is the milestone to mark the start of when character no longer matter in the President. To me, Clinton's reelection is a small part of the many, many reasons Trump could get elected. Clinton's character didn't matter so Trump's character doesn't matter either.

        Um...yes. If you were ABT, then you weren’t referring to 2000. The subject was GWB being chosen over Keyes in 2000.

          Oops. My bad. I misread it.

            Interestingly, Trump DID briefly run for President in 2000, although not for the Republicans:
