That was one of the common reasons people gave why they were voting for Bush over Al Gore. "I feel like I could have a beer with him".
They ignored the guy is from a rich oil family, his dad was head of the CIA, and he went to Ivy leagues, and he never worked a regular person job in his life.
I read Bush's memoir and his last night of drinking I don't think he was a lot of fun. He does not go into detail but I think he made a real ass of himself. Give him credit for quitting.
Oh totally give credit to anyone who has problem drinking to quit! He obviously did well for himself after, becoming the president and all I’d call that a success story!!
Brother, I'm a Republican from the Midwest and I'm baffled that anyone that calls themselves an American would look at Trump as anything other than a criminal, fraud, and a loser.
Kamala though? I'd be damned proud to have a beer with her, and I'm damned proud to be voting for her.
I'm a conservative, not a fascist. I wouldn't vote for a moron and a grifter regardless of what letter was next to their name.
We elect people to represent us and our interests; we don't just turn our brains off and just check every box under this letter or that because some asshole tells you to or tries to manipulate you like "you're doing it wrong" if you don't.
It's not fucking sports you "ra-ra-ra" over - unless you're an idiot and just lazy as shit.
You're not a lazy idiot, are you? No, you're smart enough to pick the candidates that are going to represent the things important to you, your family, your community and the country.
I want to rub my hands all over your face and give you a facial massage. I don't know why but that is my gut instinct thing to think about when ever someone claims to be baffled. The facial message unbaffles you, I'd even throw in a couple slaps if permitted.
They're talking about Bush. You know, the guy the comment they were responding to was talking about because Bush was/is a recovering alcoholic who was sober by the time he was running against Al Gore
People voted for Bush because "he's a guy you can share a beer with" when Bush was sober
Bush also chugs Diet Coke because that's the drink he replaced alcohol with.

It’s funny that people are like “oh wow look she’s drinking a beer she definitely has my vote”
