Yeah, Bush was very much faking his dumb hick persona. He needed to offset his Yale and Harvard education to his target demographic. He bought his Texas ranch right before running for office.
The current GOP is a caricature of what he was doing.
Play the idiot, attract real idiots that thinks they are in good company (I don't remember the exact quote).
Just watch clips of Bush when he was governor of Texas. Perfectly articulate, complete sentences and everything. He either had a major stroke in 2000 or it was just an act.
Now Dan Quayle, that dude was a real one.
probably faking it to his dumb hick supporters in texas.
yup, he needed to obfuscate his origins as a rich family from MAINE, which alot of like some celebrities, lke taylor swift and THE DRUNKARD kid rock.
