The Bushes have done incalculable harm to the GOP with their infatuation with all things Latino and their Quixotic pursuit of the Latino vote starting with W’s stupid amnesty pushes in 2006 and 2007.
They win no new Latino votes while constantly offending and insulting the GOP base, causing many to sit out elections. But none of that keeps the Bushes from doubling down on stupid.
The party would benefit greatly if the Bush family would simply retire from politics and disappear.
100% on point.
41 and 43 did do quite a number of good things, but on balance were raging moderates who did nothing great for the Pubbies, and certainly nothing great for conservatism (even if SOME of the things that they did, like 43’s tax cut, were pretty conservative in nature).
For once I agree with Jesse Jackson: “Get out ‘da Bushes!”
