Vlak voor de kerst maakte ik mijn debuut bij Deutsche Welle over voormalig president George W. Bush die toch een grote rol blijkt te spelen in de huidige Amerikaanse verkiezingen.
Even though the Iowa and New Hampshire caucuses are weeks away, there is already a clear winner in the Republican camp for the 2016 election season. It’s not Donald Trump, Ben Carson or Marco Rubio – but George W. Bush.
There is no doubt about it: George W. Bush is on everybody’s mind this election season. His faltering brother, and former Florida governor, Jeb is running a campaign in which he is fervently trying to dissociate himself from the family name by using an exclamation mark instead of his surname. To no avail. In July W. and predecessor Bill Clinton amicably posed for the cover of “Time” and discussed “the family business.” And with the fear of Islamic terrorism after the Paris and San Bernardino attacks – the “war on terror” and the man who coined the term – isn’t far from the minds of voters. Or Republican hopefuls.
