Bush: 'I'm worried that I will be the last Republican president'
CNN ^ | 6/19/16 | Erin Bradner

Cleveland (CNN)Former President George W. Bush fretted to a group of former aides and advisers in April that he was worried he could be the "last Republican president."

The 43rd president's remark, at a gathering in Dallas of his administration's staffers, reflected a dim view of the party's prospects at a time when the primary contest was realistically down to Donald Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

In the Bushes minds, Reagan wasn’t a Republican president.

Let's start with your Grandfather: Prescott Bush...Nazi lover...

Then lets go to your father: George Herbert Walker Bush...people need to research why he was named this, then from there go to the C.I.A. and follow that story...then on to Mena, Arkansas to Bill Clinton, Bobby Seals, and the drug running...from there follow the story about the Saudi arrangements, oil, drugs, money, power...

From there lets follow the Bush Enterprises from George Walker Bush to Jeb Bush and the drugs and Venezuela...and then how Jeb got into the office of Governor of Florida and the Saudis getting out of America right after 9/11, from there the ‘28 pages’....and then ask yourself, how did we get bases in Saudi during Desert Storm? Why did GHWB hate Saddam Hussein so badly? And just where was GHWB on November 22, 1963...

When you have found out all this information and you understand the story of the Bush Crime Family, you will understand why Bill Clinton and George W. Bush are brothers from another mother...

This will also explain why the Bushes are supporting the Clintons in this election...it's a very sickening story, but if you really want to know something, you need to search for the answers, they are there...

If the lying criminal wins, and the damage she will do on immigration, the courts, and the justice system, I would be surprised if a republican will ever win again in my lifetime.

‘I’m worried that I will be the last Republican president’

Translation - my job here is nearly done.

And it would have been concluded quickly too, had not The Donald intervened and knocked the designated loser Jeb Bush out of the race very early on.

There really was not a “Plan B” in place, and the #NeverTrump putsch was probably organized too late to be effective.

There shall still be something called “the Republican party” but in a year it shall bear little resemblance to whatever it was in 2008. For one thing, the “designated loser” position will have been eliminated, and the newly reconstituted emphasis on putting America first will provide the means and vehicle by which first the party structure, then the structure of the Federal and State governments, with an emphasis on decentralization and local participation/responsibility.

Bush opened the borders for illegals and anchor babies and for mass immigration generally.

He and his consigliere Karl Rove saw all the micro-political data: they knew full well that this population was 80% socialist and would hand the Democrats state after state over time.

Bush certainly ensured that there would not be a conservative administration in California for generations to come, the home state of Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon. New York City, which once elected Guiliani, recently elected a communist to be mayor. What of the USA remains to be seen.

Bush time and time again chose to do the expedient thing for a short-term advantage of the moment rather than a long-term vision in favor of Americans.

George W and George HW would be 2 reasons that the Republican Party might be sounding its death knell. RINOS supreme

Followed closely behind by “conservatives” willing to believe Big Media headlines without question, especially when not DIRECTLY related to politics.

I disagree. It is his father that utterly wrecked the Republican party, and he did it by breaking his word on taxes.

This allowed pathological liar Clinton to win, because after George HW broke his word, it could not be pointed out that the Clinton was a F***ing liar, and of course Clinton caused the Housing collapse, Homos in the Military, and several Supreme court Idiots.

George HW is the guy who really screwed us.

Because you allowed millions of illegals to infest this country while simultaneously importing millions of legal Democrat voters, many of them Muslim, coupled with the sincerely LOUSY job you did as POTUS and even worse job you did at defending your own administration, it is lucky that the party even survived!

I have a dim view of him and the rest of the Bush family; they can forget about my vote for any of their progeny. Vietnam War draft dodger, stupid, starts a war when he knows nothing about the consequences, fires his Budget chief when he guesses the Iraq invasion will cost $ 100 million (it cost three trillion), father of Common Core, and like his father totally reliant for election to all offices based on the Reagan legacy of which they all were ever jealous and demeaning (little kids who can’t do anything yet are the same way toward accomplished adults). Bob Dole, who has a sense of decency and loyalty, noted last night that he was surprised that Bush 41 wasn’t at the convention; he knows Bush 43 too well to expect him to show any class whatever.

He hopefully will be the last uni-party president. His family is an embarrassment. They are sore losers.

Have you ever wondered.....what is the speed of dark ?

E = m c²

If you were to strip naked and run around in a circle at the speed of 299 km/sec ( the speed of light ), it would theoretically be possible for you to screw yourself.

However, since you are not physically capable of achieving that speed at your age ( or any age ), you can easily accomplish the same result by:

Voting democrat in the November 2016 election.
