Dubya was worse. His nominees were all extremely competent neocon ghouls. Trump’s people were all mired by catty squabbling. Kavanaugh might be the exception, and not to shrug off the Supreme Court, but the GWB administration has clearly had a lasting effect on the military/intelligence machine. One major effect is Dems now idolize military/spooks. Wasn’t quite as bad under Clinton or before.
