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.

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.

[mombonn]

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.

[Pearls Before Swine]

I hope GWB is the last RINO president!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

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

Thank God.

[miss marmelstein]

And it’s apparently STILL a religion of peace.

[King Moonracer]

Bush should have called it The Last RINO President, because the further we go into the Trump presidency, the more that the Bushes look like RINOs.

[pepsi_junkie]

The Bushes took a party comprised of a broad coalition that Ronald Reagan singlehandedly built and reformed it into a globalist enterprise focused on nation building, mass immigration cheap labor, open borders, and big government. That’s what the GOP has been since 1989 despite their lies to support small government, low taxes, individual freedom, and rule of law. That party, the party of the Bushes, was a miserable failure. It deserved to be put out of its misery and I’m hopeful that George W Bush will indeed be the last “Republican” president of that flavor. And may the rest of the Bush-ite GOP insects follow suit.

The Bush Clan died politically last year with that pathetic Jeb! Bush. A fitting end to a disgusting dynasty. Out, not with a bang, but a “Please Clap” .

[lodi90]

Reagan was the last Republican POTUS before Trump. Also a former card carrying Democrat. It’s the “life time” RINOs like the Bush clan who are the problem with GOP.

[dforest]

Good, now go away chimpee Boosh.

“a president should not “exploit the anger, incite it” but rather “come up with ideas to deal with it”

Okay, if that’s the criteria, Trump has come up with excellent ideas, but the swamp dwellers - and some who love dynasties - are against what the current president was elected to do.

They both had their chance to do something great. IMO, GWB should look in the mirror because of the things he’s saying about Trump’s agenda - said to turn others against the president.

George Washington Debates George W. Bush.

See the above, which was published over twelve years ago. The point is that W's Second Inaugural Address was probably the stupidest in American History. Selected quotes from George Washington logically destroyed every point that W tried to make--a 100% refutation of stupidity from the grave.

In the twelve years since, not one person has challenged any point that was made in that refutation.

GWB = RINO

[DoughtyOne]

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.”

Both men led a failed failed presidency.  G. H. W. Bush was booted after one term, for a man with zero character.  He couldn't convert for the second term.  That's a massive fail against the likes of Bill Clinton.  G. W. Bush walked out of the White House at the end of his presidency, leaving behind very few jobs created under his term in office.  He also left the nation on the verge of economic ruin.  Not since the Great Depression had our nation been in such dire straights.  The national debt went up aroun 90% on his eight year watch.

Ronald Wilson Reagan was the last true Republican in the White House, but that fails to address the truth that the Republicans of the day weren't fully supportive of him.

Trump is the closest to holding true Republican ideals since President Reagan.  In some ways, he's actually approaching being better than Reagan.  I don't say that to denigrate Reagan in any way.  I love the man.  He turned this nation around in another time of desparity, following on Carter.  I will always hold him in very high esteem.

Neither G. H. W. Bush or G. W. Bush were true Republicans.  They were moderates.  Translated, that means a warmed over Leftist.  They pretended to be Republicans, and a lot of people fell for it.

Let's recall, neither of these men had word one to say about Clinton or Obama.  G. W. thought so highly of Bill Clinton that he appointed him to a lead position in the Indian Ocean Tsunami relief effort, in effect rehabbing his character in public.  He thought so highly of Obama, that he never found one thing to criticize, or if he did, it was done in such a manner as to have been almost invisible to the public.  None the less, both these men are plenty happy to attack Trump at will.  This is breathtakingly ill advised, and despicable.

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.”

G. H. W. Bush, knows nothing about Trump, but he's sure he's an egotistical blowhard.  This from a guy that couldn't find anything wrong with Bill Clinton when running against him in 1992.  Egotistical?  Blowhard?  Why certainly not Clinton.  LOL   I am willing to grant G. H. W. some grace for his words, seeing as how he is so old and I think over the edge into non-reality.  As for G. W., not a chance.

“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.”

How can G. W. say this, knowing what Obama did along the same lines?  How can he say it in light of what is said in the very next paragraph?  Where is reality in any of this?  This stuff is just unhinged.

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 hope all the FReepers who trashed me for not backing the best Conservative president we every had, are reading this.  I've actually had some of them tell me G. W. Bush was a better president than Reagan.  G. W. was never a Conservative, and now it's clear he is barely a Republican.  Still, he's "CONCERNED!".  Incredible!

The White House on Saturday responded to the criticism revealed in the new book.

"The American people voted to elect an outsider who is capable of implementing real, positive, and needed change - instead of a lifelong politician beholden to special interests," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement. "If they were interested in continuing decades of costly mistakes, another establishment politician more concerned with putting politics over people would have won.”

Exactly!

Pop and Poopie are a disgrace to the cause...

[Redleg Duke]

Hopefully, Bush is the next-to-the-last Establishment President. O-Butthole being the last.

[fortheDeclaration]

So the elder Bush voted for Hillary, what does that tell you!

[PCPOET7]

the bush family has been working with the Clintons for years. if the Clinton foundation is investigated. one will find that there is financial connection. I supported the bushes for years and wish now I never had supported this political family

[xenia]

I remember hearing over the years, how the Bushes had so much honor, that they would not criticize a sitting President. This was the excuse given for their silence on Bill Clinton, and Obama. Boy has that turned out to be BS. They didn’t criticize because they were on board.
