- George W. Bush discusses running against John McCain during the 2000 presidential primary, losing to him in New Hampshire, and how competition with McCain made him a better candidate and person. Bush reflects on how their fathers shaped their lives and describes McCain as a great senator who was independent of mind, but solid in principle.
George Walker Bush was born in New Haven, Connecticut in 1946 while his father was attending Yale University after service in World War II. The family moved to Midland, Texas, where George H. W. Bush entered the oil exploration business. He spent his formative years there, attending Midland public schools. Bush graduated from Yale, received a business degree from Harvard, and then returned to Midland where he also went into the oil business. In Midland he met and married Laura Welch, a teacher and librarian. Bush served as Governor of Texas from 1995-2000, and in 2001, became the 43rd President of the United States at the age of 54. Bush defeated Vice President Al Gore Jr. in a closely contested and controversial election, ultimately decided by the Supreme Court. Bush was challenged in his re-election bid in 2004 by Massachusetts Democratic Senator John Kerry and won. Much of Bush’s presidency was defined by the September 11 attacks in 2001, which transformed him into a wartime president. In response, Bush formed a new cabinet-level Department of Homeland Security, and sent American forces into Afghanistan to break up the Taliban. The President also recast the nation’s intelligence gathering and analysis services, and ordered reform of the military forces. At the same time he delivered on his campaign pledge to cut taxes. His most controversial act was the invasion of Iraq on the belief that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein posed a grave threat to the United States. Saddam was captured, but the disruption of Iraq and the killing of American servicemen and friendly Iraqis by insurgents became the challenge of his second term.
From the 2018 HBO / Kunhardt Film Foundation (KFF) Documentary "John McCain: For Whom The Bell Tolls." Shortly after being diagnosed with brain cancer, McCain allowed unprecedented access to his daily life in Washington. Offers an in-depth look at the life of John McCain, from his time as a POW in Vietnam to his three decades of service in the US Senate.

你應該是第三的
Ah, John McCain the short tempered Democrat in disguise who hated his own party. Wish I never voted for him, Romney, or Trump. I’m done with the GOP. Will vote third party in the next election.
How is Trump part of the GOP? He exposed the entire party as the military industrial complex. First president in modern history to not go to war. To group him with Romney and McCain makes little sense??
😂😂
