Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Sunday that it was for other people to decide whether former President George W. Bush’s decision to go to Iraq was an impeachable offense.

Trump was asked during an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” to clarify comments he made at the GOP debate the night before when he questioned whether there was enough to impeach Bush after his decision on Iraq.

“Well, that’s for other people to say. And look, that is for other people to say,” Trump responded. “I can say this, it may not have been impeachable because it was a mistake. I think it was a mistake. But it was a horrible mistake. Number one, there were no weapons of mass destruction. So, you know, did they know there weren’t or not? That would tell you something right there.”

  1. I’m another person. It was. The referendum we should have had in 2004 wasn’t Bush or Kerry, but rather the punishment for Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld. Life in prison, or the long drop?

  2. I finally figured out Trump’s strategy. He’s running as a third party candidate, but doing it in the GOP primary so he can secure those voters who blindly vote the party line. He figures the GOP will back anyone with an ® after their ballot line, and that he can pull in third party voters as well. This might offset the demographic headwinds facing the GOP.

  3. This may be what causes the baggers to turn on him. They love “Jar Dubba (as they pronounce it)” as much as they despise women, minorities and gays.

  4. Which “other people?”

    I’m curious as there are a buttload of other people out there.

  5. Typical Trump…he throws things out there with the oh I don’t know and the puppet Media picks it up and makes it a story. Carson, with the knife stabbing Cruz with his not eligable now Jeb.with his brother and the Iraq war .that is how he keeps his hands clean and gets rid of his competitors. Watch Media…now it will be is iraq an Impeachable Offense…they will be having talking heard talking about it until Trump throws out something else. if nothing else he does know how to play the Media and his Trumpies…
