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.”

These two criminals were the driving forces behind the Globalist New World Order.

The record of death and corruption behind the Bush family is beyond comprehension.

I am serious when I say that the Bush family are without a doubt the most evil force ever to be known by the Republic. And I include the Roosevelts and Clinton’s in that.

Former President George W. Bush and his father, former President George H.W. Bush, do not realize that the last Republican President was Ronald Reagan.

The Republican President after Ronald Reagan is President Donald Trump.

People should have the power instead of ceding it to elites. The Bushes gave lip service to their constituents and were part of an oligarchy with the Democrats. They seemed to identify more with Bill and Hillary Clinton.

I was disappointed with the lack of leadership of the Bushes, and the lack of judgement of the Republican elites when they selected McCain as their party candidate for POTUS. Then they tried to force another Bush on us in 2016. Drain the swamp!

Trump ran as an R because that was where the opening to the White House existed at the time. He’s pro-business but a nationalist which throws them all into a tizzy on both sides of the aisle. Globalists within the R party will need to take their little red wagon and start a third party, likely beginning next year but certainly by 2020.

GWB is also a Marxist.

There isn’t a dimes worth of difference between the Bush family and Clinton/Obama.

All treacherous, anti-American Marxists

The only thing he should be worried about is his dementia.

Bush got rid of Saddam who was a tyrant. Getting rid of Saddam ultimately led to the rise of ISIS. Saddam had kept a boot on the ISIS types. Under Saddam, there weren’t beheadings and rapes and persecution of Christians and others on a mass scale. As bad as Saddam was, things were much worse for the Iraquis after he was overthrown.

[He means he is worried that he will be the last republican president of the Bush dynasty.]

He was good in his first term, he stupidly ran his 2nd term based on opinion polls, and he’s gotten progressively stupider ever since. Couple that with the whole family being butt-hurt that Jeb never got traction as a candidate and it’s the perfect storm of idiocy. Bush had the perfect formula to buy the presidency, luckily for the country it’s a trick that doesn’t work anymore.

George you nor your father were Republican Presidents, so don’t worry about it. Both of you stood silent while Obama raped this country, after you & your dad had done your raping.

I used to like the man. But now we see what he really thinks. I am not a Trump fan, but I voted for him and I like what he is doing. GWB had no vision when he was in office and the country suffered for it. Where was he during the Obama presidency?
