George W Bush has not “kept his mouth shut.” He has praised Obama and the Clintons.
He has attacked Cruz and other conservatives.
That’s right, GWB went out of his way a few weeks ago to ridicule Cruz, who worked on the GWB 2000 recount project. GWB wouldn’t stand up for Katherine Harris either. GHWB wouldn’t attend Lee Atwater’s funeral.
Strange that he has been so quiet and picked the worst possible ways to use his post-presidency influence.
