Bush was very smart as a politician. He made rhetorical “mistakes”, but never ones that would penalise him with his core constituency, for example. At getting himself elected, he was most excellent.
Isn’t this a circular argument? Bush was smart because he was elected and only smart people get elected.
No, this was my assessment of his performance in debates and on the campaign trail.
