I disagree, Republican party was at its worst during the GW Bush era, think what the Democratic party current day is is what was like then, crazy town.

yeah. And the lone voice of sanity in today's democratic party is RFK Jr, and they are making efforts to deride his candidacy. The party of criminals.
