George H.W. Bush will always be best remembered for once holding the highest office in the land, but according to his longtime chief of staff, his life after the presidency was just as remarkable.

That’s when Jean Becker’s tenure with the 41st president began, shortly after he left office in 1993 following his defeat to the 42nd president, Bill Clinton.

“For the first couple of months after he lost the election, he was much quieter than usual,” Becker shared during a Monday morning chat with Bush’s granddaughter, TODAY’s own Jenna Bush Hager. “He sort of took his time to figure out what he wanted the next chapter in his life to be.”

Bush League Republicans are TransRepublicans.

Assistant Democrats dressing up in R jerseys to fool people while importing a permanent Democrat majority in order to steal the country from the citizens.

The Derp Stater who gave us Bubba the Rapist and a family that has been a cancer to the nation ever since. Worst mistake Ronald Reagan ever made in picking him for VP over Paul Laxalt, who would never have destroyed the country.

And the fact that GW’s daughter co-hosts the Today Show tells you all you need to know. Not particularly talented or attractive, there are thousands of young women who would score far higher on all counts, but they are not connected to the Deep State. This is a “favor” that they give the Bush family; in return, GW never says a negative word about Obama or Biden and publicly throws shade every chance he gets at Trump and the Republican base. Its low and these are the people we elected to preside over the managed decline of this wonderful country.

“The list went on to include a wide range of advice that he offered to himself and other future former presidents, everything from remembering to grab some napkins and notepads with the presidential seal on them during the final flight on Air Force One to vowing not to pen “op-ed pieces all the time” or to criticize his successor.”

Really?

George Bush Sr calls Trump a ‘blowhard’ and voted for Clinton

The daughter on that horrible show is an open Demonrat. That family was the worst thing to ever happen to the Republican Party.

GHWB was a philanderer just like Slick Willy, even if he was more discerning and discreet.
Probably why he “adopted” him into the family.

He knew we would never vote to give up our sovereignty and our country so he established a plan to steal it from us by flooding the country with foreigners.
By controlling the GOP he could effectively block the citizens from stopping it by only letting us vote for open borders/amnesty candidates.
They hate Trump so much because we were not supposed to be able to elect anyone who would side with us and the rule of law.

Nothing decent about the man.

How did they allow a 3rd party candidate in the election to only hurt the Republican? Even in 1996, Perot ran again with no liberal 3rd party candidate.
