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.”

I had his back in the War on Terror and this is how he treats constituents that didn’t jump ship. I have more reason to hate him than any liberal.

The Bushes stayed silent for 8 years of Obama trying his best to destroy our Country and never had a negative word to say until Trump won and now they want to help destroy him! Ask yourself why. They have MUCH corruption to cover up themselves!. They've remained butt buddies with WJ Clinton (I'm a brother from another mother, etc) the entire time he's been out of office.

THE BUSH FAMILY IS DIRTY, COMPROMISED AND ONE WORLDERS. THEY PRETEND THEY ARE GOOD REPUBLICANS, BUT THEY ARE EVIL. NEVER BE FOOLED BY THEIR FAMILY!!!

Maybe it's for the best George.
Or, maybe the people are taking the party back?
Time and election results will tell, you see, we have this great process that the people control and you really would do best just to sit down and shad up now. (again)

By the Bush Family’s definition of “Republican”, and that of a big chunk of Congress, he is completely correct.

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

Trump was talking about how women made themselves available to him. It was all about consenting adult activity. The Left has twisted that into a lie, but we don’t have to spread the lie.

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.

Some regions of the world are just going to be ruled by tyrants. Whether that’s a matter of seeming preference as appears to be the case in South America, or whether that’s a matter of a populace that’s just so beaten down, war-torn and defeated that they can’t manage to sustain any other form of governance, is open to conjecture. Interjecting and attempting to manipulate these regions into a sort of American-style polyglot democratic republic clearly does not work, whatever the reason. At least Saddam was our tyrant, despite all the claims to the contrary. Look at what has arisen in the wake of his hanging by a military tribunal that we sponsored. Saddam was a scapegoat for 9/11 and he PO’ed the Bushes, so off with his head.

After all the times I’ve heard these phonies pontificate about how ex presidents should not inject themselves into current politics look at the way they gleefully savage Trump, in a way they NEVER did against Clinton or osamabama.

He never fought back during his presidency against the the left, which was basically not fighting for his base, letting us twist in the wind. He would not fight for us. He let us be ridiculed and disrespected. Not a peep to help. In the Obama years nothing. I use to like him but I had a WTF moment like many others posting here, now he can KMA, get lost fool.

Words and actions are two entirely different things. For the life of me I’ll just never get all these people with their collective asses on their shoulders over style points and decorum to the point that they’d really rather have had Hillary Clinton in the Presidency. That is and will always be stupid beyond my ability to grasp.
