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.”

Iraq is actually stepping up. They actually have the will to fight for freedom. When we were there doing it for them, of course they just sat back and let America do all the fighting and dying. Pull-out was the best thing we ever did: https://www.yahoo.com/news/blowing-houses-digging-graves-iraqis-purge-islamic-state-113933138.html
I hit the post button too soon. In continuation from #201:
The Afghanis possess no national courage, are indifferent to their own freedom, and are hopeless. In a 2015 assessment of the situation, US generals announced that we need to stay the course on Afghanistan, we’re almost halfway there. Gotta be kidding. Just like the south Vietnamese, you can’t save somebody from invaders when they care nothing about their own freedom. Freedom is something YOU have to fight for, somebody else can’t do it for you. The Afghanis are weak-minded and happy to be ruled by whoever rolls into town and kicks their ass. I’m totally for cold pull-out. The winning president ran on that platform, that’s what the American people voted for, so quit screwing around and do it already.
GWB let Obammie blame EVERYTHING in this country on GWB’s admin and NEVER opened his mouth for 8 DAMNED YEARS! NOW he has become quite the chatter box I always liked the man because of his caring for our troops, but NOW I am PISSED at the guy. I understand he feels JEB should have won BUT OMG I can’t even imagine JEB as POTUS!!! GWB needs to keep his trap SHUT he is destroying ALL respect anyone had for him!!!!
I'm worried that what intellect you do possess will"blow out" as a result of WORRYING after adopting this POV.
I suggest you go binge watch "Duck Dynasty" episodes WITH COMMERCIALS still in them.

Why did you listen to the tape then? Are you a fargin pervert?
Trump was taped un-surreptitiously. It’s not like it was an official statement to the press. It was leaked by the GOPE. I didn’t listen to it, why did you?
If the propaganda press broke into Trump’s mansion and stole a tape of he and his wife in their private moments, would you watch that too?
No doubt that you would and you’d report back that he didn’t cuddle long enough after sex. Take a hike goron.
“So none of the 5 living ex-Presidents voted for Trump (with the possible exception of Jimmy Carter), and all 38 deceased Presidents voted for Hillary.”
Now that’s funny, IDCWYA. Most of the congressional republicans voted for Hillary, too. If there were more than a dozen that voted for Trump I’d be shocked. The GOP is the party of bush, romney, mccain, kasich, graham, etc...Rinos and NeverTrumpers with a handful of patriots that slipped through the cracks.
Why did you listen to the tape then?
I didn't - it was widely discussed on FR and elsewhere, e.g.:

George and his father have revealed themselves to be unworthy of our support. They are part of the Country Club Rockefeller wing of the party that is colluding with the Democrats to march us towards socialism.
Socialism is a war on nature; and, as such, indefensible. But all Socialists are not traitors.
