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.”

And we are sorry that you ever were considered to be a Republican President, Jorge Arbusto.

You dislike our current President. That’s fine, but the company you’re keeping is far from being pure as the driven snow. What purpose do you think you’re serving with your sour grapes holier-than-thou act here, having joined two days after the election last year?

I dislike any talk of grabbing women's pussies - and you agreed that was wrong.

That’s fine, but the company you’re keeping

What company do you think I'm keeping?

What purpose do you think you’re serving

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

Very true but the Bushies certainly didn’t comprehend that message.

His book Decision Points. Made it seems to suggest W lacked any kind of proactive vision for the country. W made decisions when events forced him into action.

If Trump was wrong to talk about grabbing women - and he was -


OT but I beg to differ. All Trump said was that if you are famous, women swoon for you. Which is true. He used locker room language to say it. He was raised among construction workers and he thought he was alone with Billy.

So in you're book it was not wrong for Trump to say, "And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy."? I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

I blame the Bushes for millions of new Democrat voters through immigration designed to enrich their backers with David Souder and all of the judges appointed by Clinton and obama. Also the entire class of ‘06 and ‘08 Democrats. I blame them for everything feckless treacherous and duplicitous that passed for Republicanism by the establishment. It is their failures that caused us to nominate Trump because they would not listen to us.

“He never fought back during his presidency against the left, which was basically not fighting for his base, letting us twist in the wind.”

That is true, but worse, he sent young men into harms way and didn’t defend their mission. He let them down. That was inexcusable. I can’t picture Reagan or Trump doing that.

... and yet here you are, repeatedly rehashing the very words you profess to dislike. Curious, that. The company you’re keeping would be Clinton supporters, Jeb Bush and the rest of the GOPe backstabbers as well as various and sundry other whingers who are pissing and moaning about some sort of something from the campaign. I guess you’re just going to have to endure us “Trump Cultists” as you term anyone who calls you on your constant carping. It’s serving no useful purpose here, in case you haven’t noticed. Maybe some echo chamber that agrees with you would work better, like NR or Redstate.

The only redeeming reason I’m still glad I voted for both of them is that the alternatives were completely unacceptable. I regret standing in the rain to watch W’s inauguration.

You will be the last globalist New World Order RINO President, Double U.

Thank God.
