(CNN)A former George W. Bush administration official who once encouraged recalcitrant Republicans to serve in the incoming Trump administration is now issuing a warning against getting on board, cautioning that those Republicans "would probably have to make excuses for things that are inexcusable and defend people who are indefensible."
Eliot Cohen, who served as a State Department counselor from 2007 to 2009, wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post published Tuesday explaining why he had changed his mind after engaging with the Trump transition team. Earlier Tuesday, he had tweeted: "After exchange w Trump transition team, changed my recommendation: stay away. They're angry, arrogant, screaming "you LOST!" Will be ugly."

These butt hurt losers are coming out the wood work. I love it.
Translation....They didn’t offer me a job.
Bush, the irony of being a pussy.
Likely he was not hired and is vindictive, or he was fired or was going to be.
Another wuss heard from. Go away, Bushies. But they won’t because every sore loser in the Bush camp knows they can get into the NYT if they write a lame hit piece on Trump.
Eliot who? Sheesh! Such unbelievable arrogance and condescension.
Hire me. I am a fluent bilingual and I WILL work faithfully and loyally to implement your immigration plan, whatever you decide for it to be. No reservations, no regrets. Ever.
I see what they did there. They found a way to tie this guy’s comments to President Bush.
Republicans “would probably have to make excuses for things that are inexcusable and defend people who are indefensible.”
Haven’t a lot of them been doing that for the past 8 years?
MSM is so terrified. Justice Dept. is quaking in their boots.
Is that supposed to be a threat?
Good. GO AWAY! WE DON’T NEED YOU!
Liars. Rabid #Never Trump thought he was entitled to a job and got shown the door. Why would anyone who writes this think he should get a job from Trump?

Trump’s impending nomination means it’s time for a third party (by Eliot Cohen) [Flashback]
Washington Post ^ | May 3, 2016
This guy seems to think that ONLY the “radical LEFT” has the right to yell “YOU LOST!!” It does’t work that way.
Or to put it another way, “WE WON!!”
Bush/Clintoon reprobates like Cohen are very worried.
The RINOs and globalist, crony-capitalist, statist Republicans have not given up at all.
Its clear Trump will be battling them, as well as the entire Left, for the next 4 years.
Exactly...I bet he sent in his resume and he got a “No thank you.”
“State Department counselor”
Leech, parasite & maggot.
They don’t have too. Bush is out saying stupid stuff on his own.
The Bible tells us that God blinded the Jews to the Truth for their disobedience and rebellion against His Word.
This crap pretty much proves it.
How effing un-clever... even for a Jew...
