The state of the GOP, and in large part the state of the nation and its economy, flow from the Bush family. It all is as much their legacy as it is the demonrat party's.
Reagan was the idealist, non-establisment odd man out and they have made sure the era of Reagan ended in the GOP and elsewhere. Their hostility toward the TEA party republicans adds more supporting evidence. I believe it is more than just appearances that Clinton is a welcomed part of their family. Just ask Babs.
