I really, really loved Bush and had a “W” sticker on my truck. Then, Obama came along with all of his anti-American policies, and Bush didn’t say a word. I lost some respect for Bush from that. Then, Trump came along with all of his pro-American polices, and Bush starts criticizing him. I lost ALL respect for Bush after that.

Correct Bush should step up and support President Trump, put the Jeb Loss behind him. PDJT has done much for America simply but stepping up and keeping the promises the country voted for.

The only thing I can say about him is that he is not Kerry.

I'm still waiting for "the people who did this will hear all of us soon."

Hint: It wasn't Saddam.

After witnessing how the Bush family rallied together with Marxist globalists to oppose pro-America policies and destroy the sovereignty of this nation, I’ll never support them again.

It is more than apparent that the Bush family had been deliberately and deceptively working against everything that they pretended to be working toward. They are still today, yet much less effectively.

The Bush family is now known to be evil and their reputations are not capable of being rehabilitated.

Everyone will always see Carter, Bush1, Clinton, Bush2, Obama in the same undermining anti-American Marxist light and rightfully so.

I am the same. I defended that little punk Shrub. Defended him in the public square. I regret my actions and am seeking penance. Trump is the first non Bush/Clinton derivative since HW. He is no Reagan, but Trump will do!

The Bush family exploited the GOP for power and influence. They undid the Reagan legacy. They were closet liberals who moved the GOP left. Globalists who put America last. Supported amnesty and increased immigration. Bush 41 doubled the legal immigration cap to over a million. They refused to endorse Trump except for George P. Bush 41 said he voted for Hillary. The Bush family is beyond rehabilitation.

No, but we can take a short break from condemning GWB to fully concentrate our invective on Paul Ryano for a while.

I would have doubted that they would ever express favor for Nixon, Reagan, or either Bush, but here we are.

I have certainly heard liberals say positive things about Reagan, particularly in comparison to Trump today or to G.W. Bush when he was President. Here are a couple random examples I found through a brief Google search just now: Eric Terzuolo (The Hill):Donald Trump is No Ronald Reagan. Alexei Bayer (Salon and The Globalist): Reagan vs. Trump: Two entertainer-politicians compared. Gilroy Dispatch (2004 editorial): Comparing Reagan and George W. Bush.

Also, in recent years, liberals have been fond of pointing to Reagan's support for an "assault weapons" ban.

Bush is the enemy. I HATE that I traveled to DC to attend his inauguration. He has totally betrayed me.

Shrub gave us Emperor Zero and Speaker Pelosi, open borders and the “Religion of Peace.”

Thanks for nothing, Shrub.

Rehab (globalist/internationalist) Bush? Nope, No, Nyet, Nein, Na, Ne, Nah, Non, Neyn, etc. As presidents go/went, Bush was a steaming pile of merde, stront, scheisse, skit, etc.

Are you kidding me? I live in Texas and worked hard to get Bush elected. I thought he did a good enough job as President. His post-presidency has made him dead to me. I cannot imagine the man I thought he was cozying up to Obamas and Clintons, four people I consider traitors to this country. Bush will never be rehabilitated in my Texas mind.
