George W. Bush: ‘I’m worried that I will be the last Republican president’
The Hill ^ | Nov. 4, 2017 | Alicia Cohn

Posted on 11/04/2017 10:37:06 AM PDT by Hadean

Former President George W. Bush and his father, former President George H.W. Bush, both criticize President Trump in a new book to be released this month, with George W. Bush admitting that, despite Trump’s political affiliation, he’s worried “that I will be the last Republican president.”

George H.W. Bush also calls Trump a “blowhard” in the book, “The Last Republicans,” by Mark K. Updegrove, which was previewed by The New York Times and CNN on Friday.

"I don't like him. I don't know much about him, but I know he's a blowhard. And I'm not too excited about him being a leader,” the senior Bush said, according to the author. He also commented on Trump’s “ego.”

“Wow, this guy doesn't know what it means to be president,” the younger Bush said. He indicated that a president should not “exploit the anger, incite it” but rather “come up with ideas to deal with it.”

Neither man voted for Trump in the last election, and George H.W. Bush confirms in the book that he voted for Hillary Clinton. George W. Bush said he left the top of his ballot blank and did not vote for Clinton because she has “bad judgment.”

W has to say stuff like this!
Holiday’s are coming, meaning family gatherings.
Jeb will spend Thanksgiving dinner blubbering in his room if W doesn’t go out and say something bad about Trump!

I am sure Barbara said, “George W go out and insult Trump. Show that you support your brother. We can’t have Jeb in his room crying all through the holidays!’

He means "the last Bush president".   Thank G-d for that!   (I sincerely hope he's the last one, anyway!)

He wasn’t even a Republican president. He was a Democrat, and still is.

Curious George is trying to suck up to the liberals who despise him. Maybe if George had one testicle he would have fought back against the liberal fools who called him a war criminal. I'm not surprised at all that he voted for corrupt Hillary.

You set a standard that neither you, yourself or any other human on the face of this earth can live up to, perfection, and have your ass on your shoulders because Trump once said something racy and off-color in a presumably private conversation that was blasted across the airwaves for political reasons. You sound like a Cruz supporter. Got some news for you, Cruz is even farther away from perfection than Trump is, since Trump has far less issue with hypocrisy.

Don't worry. It looks like the Mooch is on it. Between bits of lobster, that is.

Hopefully he’ll be the last open border globalist Republican president.

Actually, President Reagan was our last Republican President!

The Bush Co’s were undocumented Democrats until recently.

They have now outed themselves.

I long for a day when it will be difficult to explain to the little children just how mad the world went for a while in the twenty teens.

Silent during their years in office and during obamas years of treasonous activity. NOW they talk and they do so to rag on Donald Trump who in a space of several months has brought hope to this country.

3% and 4% growth and lower taxes and finally getting rid of obamacare that has cost millions of people their jobs or reduced their hours to just 29/hrs and provided no healthcare to anyone unless you pay the $10,000 in monthly and deductible payments per year!

They voted for Hillary Clinton? !!! She and her husband are TRAITORS!

We all knew before the election about the hundreds of millions in bribes they took, the weapons sent to drug cartels in Mexico that resulted in hundreds of men, women and 16 schoolchildren murdered. The million dead in the mideast and Clinton and obama supporting the terrorists in Libya, Egypt etc.

“they were fretful of what Trump had done to the Republican Party.”
BTW The republican party is winning in most states and state houses and local elections.

Of course they are fretful. They abandoned the American people and only are worried how they look which is abysmal.

Iirc, the Demos were counting on a win to flood the country with aliens who would overwhelm the Republican party for about 40 years. Demo hegemony for 40 years, that’s what was at stake, which is why Demos can’t accept Trump. It cost them lifetime jobs.

Wrong; to call an action wrong is not to set up a standard of perfection. Have you never called an action wrong?

and have your ass on your shoulders because Trump once said something racy and off-color

It was an observation about left/RINO hypocrisy - then Trump cultists manned the barricades.
