Bush League Republicans must become extinct before the Republic does.
Flake, Corker, Hatch, Heller, Alexander, Graham, McCain, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Hyde-Smith, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Capito, Thune, Gaines, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans hell bent on making America into North Mexico.
With a father a senator, GHW Bush landed the CIA job.
My opinion is that he was the one who corrupted the CIA. He used it ever after, and the Reagan victory overcoming Bush was akin to Trump defeating 17 republicans for the nomination. The establishment was stacked against Reagan, and he prevailed anyway.
The deep state goes back at least that far in my opinion.
Eisenhower suggested he saw its rise in his day with his words about the “military/industrial complex”.
