And relative to Trump, Bush was an articulate candidate with substantive positions. Seriously. Trump is devoid of substance, a blatant bigot, and I don't even know what he's saying half the time. It's all relative, but he makes Bush seem like a strong candidate.

Trump is unlike anything we've seen before...at least in modern times.
