George W. Bush: ‘I’m worried that I will be the last Republican president’
The Hill ^ | Nov. 4, 2017 | Alicia Cohn

Posted on 11/04/2017 10:37:06 AM PDT by Hadean

Former President George W. Bush and his father, former President George H.W. Bush, both criticize President Trump in a new book to be released this month, with George W. Bush admitting that, despite Trump’s political affiliation, he’s worried “that I will be the last Republican president.”

George H.W. Bush also calls Trump a “blowhard” in the book, “The Last Republicans,” by Mark K. Updegrove, which was previewed by The New York Times and CNN on Friday.

"I don't like him. I don't know much about him, but I know he's a blowhard. And I'm not too excited about him being a leader,” the senior Bush said, according to the author. He also commented on Trump’s “ego.”

“Wow, this guy doesn't know what it means to be president,” the younger Bush said. He indicated that a president should not “exploit the anger, incite it” but rather “come up with ideas to deal with it.”

Neither man voted for Trump in the last election, and George H.W. Bush confirms in the book that he voted for Hillary Clinton. George W. Bush said he left the top of his ballot blank and did not vote for Clinton because she has “bad judgment.”

What an idiotic statement! What party does he think Trump belongs to? Or maybe W just thinks that he gets to decide who is a Republican, and who is not. That’s probably it.

The elite...they are so much smarter than the rest of us.

President Bush was AWOL and could not be bothered to speak up during the dark days of the Obama Administration.

Bush could not even be bothered to speak out against Obama’s betrayal of the military men and women that he himself put in harms way and the Obama rules of engagement that resulted in thousands of our soldiers dead or crippled

Bush abdicated his responsibility and if he could not speak then, I don't want to hear him now.

All the Bushes should just STFU and go away.

GWB: “I’m afraid that I’m going to be the last globalist NWO RINO squish” of a president.

I gave him the benefit of doubt for eight years. It was an exercise in disappointment.

For 8 years neither spoke up about the socialist Obama.

All of a sudden, they decide to speak up against Trump.

Not credible.

W should be worried, he’s the one who finally destroyed the illusion of Republicans being the opposition party to Democrats.

I am hopeful that he was, and that he was the last Uniparty president too. Before Trump, what difference did having an R or a D after the name make?

Trump acquired the R brand and is remaking it. The old GOP didn’t pay any attention to its values and principles anyway.

A Marxist comes close to destroying the country for 8 years and GWB says nothing. Trump tries to undo the damage and Bush attacks him. I think we’ve got a communist sympathizer here.

Trump was talking about how women made themselves available to him. It was all about consenting adult activity. The Left has twisted that into a lie, but we don’t have to spread the lie.

“Wow, this guy doesn't know what it means to be president,” the younger Bush said. He indicated that a president should not “exploit the anger, incite it” but rather “come up with ideas to deal with it.”

And you didn't know what it meant to fight back. That is true of most so-called Republicans, and it is because they truly do not believe in conservative values (except at election time). If they did cherish those values, they would fight for them instead of remaining silent, sending out a surrogate to offer a whiny, limp-wristed argument on a cable news show or worse yet "apologizing to anyone who was offended" for fear of being called something-ist.

Trump fights. Sometimes I cringe, sometimes I applaud. It still beats the Bushes!

Like anybody cares what W Bush says. He’s Open Borders, Pro Amnesty, and for many years everyone thought Republican was synonymous with warmonger due to that NeoCon. And let’s not forget the housing crash and the awful economy. That dude literally didn’t bring a single Conservative victory. All he did was start a bunch of stupid pointless wars and tell us how peaceful Islam allegedly is

“...He is a socialist...”

Exactly! And thus he is anti-American.

He is also a disgusting elitist faggot.
