Former President George W. Bush reflected on the presidential election Tuesday and cautioned against anger influencing political policy, CNN reported.
Speaking in Dallas, Bush acknowledged that economic anxiety and voters who were "sick and tired of the status quo" pushed President-elect Donald Trump to victory — though Bush did not mention Trump by name.
"I understand anger, and some people may have been angry when I was president," Bush said. "But anger shouldn't drive policy. What needs to drive policy is what's best for the people who are angry."

The Bush’s know Bushism is finished, just as Obama and Hillary
are finished.
And THEY are the angry ones.
Hey George!
Why are you alleging that “anger is driving policy”?
Is this your attempt to encourage a lukewarm agenda?
Bush/ Clintons....YOUR OUT! Past history.
Occasional anger would have served GWB well during his tenure. Instead he let the Dems whack at him like a Piniata.
Just keep turning the other cheek they way you did?
Bush was quiet as church mouse these past 8 years and now Trump hasn’t even taken office and the guy is barking out like a junk yard dog.
neither should NWO ideology, George...........The Constitution, freedom and liberty should be the only guides those in DC and the people of this country should ascribe to
Buzz off, Bush! You damn globalist!
How about backbone, jorge? Should that have any part of politics? Ethics? Honoring your constituent’s desires? Eh, jorge? Any of that ring a bell?
This globalist p*ssy, this 0bama-Clinton minion, this POS punching-bag who hung us all out to dry is dispensing advice to TRUMP?? Rich.
Did Dubya ever take it upon himself to warn and advise Obama when he was coming into office? I doubt it.
He didn’t have the cojones to say a word to that angry, devisive leftist, but like all establishment RINOs, he’s suddenly found his courage, now that a patriotic, reformist Republican is taking over.
“But anger shouldn’t drive policy. What needs to drive policy is what’s best for the people who are angry.”
...
The best policy is to keep the Clintons and Bushes out of power. Thank you Donald Trump.
Shut-up George!k You were silent for 8 years and now you want to speak up! Sit down - shut-up
I really loved your concern, George, when the Towers went down and you continued to read to those kindergartners without any change of expression on your face.
You are two face and a liar. Don’t even go near Trump. I would hate any of you to influence him.
NOW, he speaks up about a President when he was silent the whole EIGHT years of Obama.
Can’t wait to hear the gems that come out of this fools mouth in the next 4. /s
Yeah and the most powerful man in the world couldn't help Teri Schivo???!!! His pussy brother wasn't any better.
good riddance. Go bike with another a-hole: lance armstrong.
I knew George Bush in Midland, Texas. He was an okay guy then. But now I’m glad the Bush family, Clinton Family, Harry Reid and Mitt Romney are gone from politics. This country is a better place without them involved in our government. If only we could get rid of John McCain and Lindsey Graham.
It isn’t anger, GWB. It is doing what needs to be done. You failed here, sir, and the media ran circles around you.
George W. Bush.
Not a word of criticism over Obama.
But ready to criticize and advise before Trump even takes office.
News flash to W: All your policies were ripped off the democrats. STFU
