In an exclusive statement to Breitbart News, Pat Buchanan declared that Trump's rise represents a rejection of 25 years of Bush Republicanism - an ideology which Buchanan says has destroyed America's once-great manufacturing core, flooded the country with low-skilled workers, and drained the treasury with ill-advised foreign adventures in the Middle East.
"In the GOP nomination race, the chickens of a quarter century of Bush Republicanism have come home to roost," Buchanan told Breitbart. "Trump's triumphs to date are due to his recognition of, and identification with, the Middle American revolt against Bush family ideology and policy, and what it has produced."

Pat Buchanan isn't exactly my favorite guy, but when he is right, I have to give him credit (as I try to do for anyone who tells it like it is). The only reason I even started to consider Donald Trump was because he had the balls or the gall to say a couple of things that everyone else should have been thinking/saying themselves. . . things in opposition to the Bush Dynasty, the Romneyites, the Cheap Labor Express and the GOP Taqqiyah Club.
Mr. niteowl77
Rubio's 15%+ is troubling, since Rubio is also a Bush Republican, but his stronger standing comes from being able to fool voters into thinking that he's a Tea Party conservative rather than a Bush Republican.
I have been traveling through fla and Georgia lots of trump supporters from all over the country.biggest support from ny.
I knew from the get-go that we were in for a rotten deal with W when he campaigned on “compassionate conservatism,” but I had no idea of just how bad he was going to be. I went from mild dislike to outright loathing when the cocky W said “See you at the signing...” (amnesty for illegals was one of the few issues where Bush was consistently animated and articulate). The icing on the cake was seeing him on the same page as Barney Frank with TARP.
Bobo thought that if he personally accelerated the decline of the white middle class, that voters would be forced to cling to someone like Bernie & Elizabeth Warren. Bobo miscalculated the will & resolve of the American people to rise above misfits like him.
Pat is right on the the spot.
Pat always has had great insight.
Thanks for your excellent walk through history and Reagan with links.
Those of us who were around during the Reagan win in that election know how hated he was by our party!
You were smarter than me. I would just change the station or turn it off if Whorealdo or Holmes were on.
I am into my second month of zero Faux news, and I am enjoying it.
Thanks my old FR Brother!
The millennials with worthless Instant Unemployment Degrees and mountains of college loan debts are still living with relatives are the perfect match with Sanders. They are our born losers. They see Bernie as their savior.
Sounds like Obama gets a pass.

But the Republicans have to put their thinking caps on and that is what our “non-politician” Trump is trying to do.
Trump says to his audience “We understand where the Democrats are coming from but how do you explain what the Republicans do?”
I think that is the message of the Trump campaign as I see it.
Trump who is not a politician but a businessman and an expert in “Branding” is telling the Republican Party,
What is the Republican Brand?
Did we know what the brand is with Reagan? Yep.
What is it now?

In recent years I’m thinking that had he been elected in 2000 instead of W, things would have been much different. Meanwhile the liberal, bigoted anti Christian, pro pc gang that wants to make us into a divided but rainbow nation of all cultures crowd, tries to discredit him as bigoted.
Absolutely right!
The “Establishment” tried to stop Reagan.
What they are doing to Trump, I have never seen in my life. Its as though the Republican pundit/political class is worried about their jobs!
Even El Chapo wants to kill him by placing a $100 million dollar bounty on his head. Why? The Wall.
If Trump does not take money, Trump cannot be controlled.
For the political/business class the greatest fear of Trump is fear of the unknown; how will it affect MY interests.
I do agree with that, he should never have entered the race. It’s like McCain running again...
Excellent summary!
And another Clinton.
The Ivy League runs the country. It is predominantly focused on East and West coast. It controls the power stream by admiting only those with legacy credentials or similar backgrounds and philosophies into their fold. They support inherently similar philosophies and each other as members of an elite club. Its why flyover country takes its marching orders from the coasts.
Skull and bones (Bush / Kerry) is a subset and an example. It is how we end up with Ivy League in policy making positions in government and in influential financial services. Orwell 1984 described the concept of group think. They think alike and see themselves as aristocracy. Open borders, gun control, multi-culturalism, free trade, financialization of our country, pc, serves them as a means to control the proletariat. They play us by dividing us.
No way will I vote for a lawyer from Harvard that will continue to play us and perpetuate our problems.
NO, no, it goes further back, including the klintonistas’ crimes and beyond !
The “silent” majority is waking up!!
They finally are saying: “Enough is enough” with professional politicians and a crooked media CONSTANTLY screwing us !!!
I agree with you, and I voted for both Bushes way back.
