Anybody would have beaten that moron, Gore would have crushed him.
Actually, that's false. Despite Bush Jr.'s incomptence and lack of intellect, he knew how to run a good and extremely nasty and dishonest campaign. He would have beaten a lot of candidates with those kinds of campaign skills. Gore might have beat Bush Jr., but also might not have. It depends on what kind of campaign he would have ran. I mean, after all, Gore did lose in 2000 when all the factors were in his favor.
Bush ran a very friendly campaign.
I'd replace the word friendly with either "scary", "nasty", or "dishonest".
If the truth is scary for you then I can't help you. Sometimes people need to be scared if that's how they remember what they're up against and nothing else distracts them from their MTV.
This post is ironic since the only way Bush won (or even was competitive) is that he knew how to appeal to certain types of people who rely on their fears and intuition.
