George W. Bush just laid a major smackdown on Trumpism
CNN Politics ^ | 10/19/2017 | Chris Cillizza

(CNN)George W. Bush doesn't talk much about politics in public. Which makes the speech he gave Thursday in New York City -- a point-by-point rejection of Trumpism -- all the more important and noteworthy. The 43rd president of the United States -- and the last Republican to hold the office before Donald Trump -- didn't mention the 45th president by name in his speech at the George W. Bush Institute. But Trump -- and his views -- were ever-present in the former President's address.

Bush condemned "nationalism distorted into nativism." He derided "discourse degraded by casual cruelty." He acknowledged that "our politics seems more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication." And, most importantly, Bush said that "bigotry seems emboldened."

We gave this elitist establishment dweller two terms in the WH with both houses of Congress and HE DID NOTHING with it. Not one significant attack on the DemocRats. And now he has the arrogance and obvious hate to attack Trump who is finally doing something for America. Globalist elitism at its worst.

The implication is that people would give the slightest crap about what GWB says? What’s the theory, “we hate him until he says something we like?”

Time for disclosure on 9-11 and the events surrounding the grassy knoll in Dallas.

Prune the shrubs.

Don’t be surprised if the president or Don Jr. decide to publicly smack back. Why not? Bush cast the first stone after sitting meekly for eight long years of Obola.

GW Bush, the guy whose Administration looked the other way while the Awan spy ring was set up, and whose appointees were the ones that let the Clintons off the hook when the uranium bribery was first uncovered.

So after being branded a war criminal and slinking off into seclusion, W is silent for 8 years all through Obama. Then suddenly he pops up to talk smack about Trump, and suddenly the MSM loves him again.
