As to the George Bush quip, aha, you still harbor that frustration. You and more than a few million others.
Consider Harry Truman and G.W. Bush: a neutral observer might describe them both as beneficiaries of a particular political machine that put them forth as their front men. James Garfield as well, the archetype dark horse candidate, and for that matter, WJ Clinton in his initial election in 1992.
I guess my question to you would be: what's new in American Politics?
My answer would be: Nothing.
As Harry Truman himself might suggest "There is little or no news, just a lot of history that you have not read yet!" (That from his book "Plan Speaking.")
NEW?
Velcro was new.
