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."

One has to finally admit that Bush is more like Obama than anyone ever wanted to acknowledge. Certainly a LOT more like Obama than like Trump. His whole clan are globalist elites that should never be permitted to hold office again.
Good point. Instead of condemning violence breaking out,
He condemns Trump.
For 8 years W was silent... out of respect and deference for President O... and now he begins mouthing off... Go away, We and all other Bushes. Good riddance.
Trump is not angry!
We are.
Unless she throws something at him while she’s shrieking like a wild goat! Lol!
“Be angry, yet without sin” — the Good Book
This is behavior akin to the facet of the con game called “cooling out the mark.”
Well these marks won’t be cooled out.
With all due respect, George ...
Sit down and shut up. Your cowardice in the face of your political enemies provides a sterling example of what NOT to do.

And validated to the left their tactics and encouraged what we are seeing to this day.
Respectfully, please keep your conservative compassion to yourself, Mr President.
And stop being mean to my brothers
Jeb!
GWB, you are on a road that I thought you would never travel. A road to disaster. If anyone is angry, it is you and those you have joined to bash DJT. Sad and very disappointing.
He's finally finished the task of becoming a total embarrassment.
He had nothing to say for 8 years about Obozo, yet now he won’t shut up about Donald Trump. I sure hope Trump ignores him as he deserves, especially since he and his wife had to broadcast the fact that they didn’t vote for Trump.
What needs to drive policy is what’s best for the people who are angry.”

Who decides that - our daddy? STFU Bush. We the People are NOT children - President Trump knows that.
You would think trump voters are out there right now smashing people’s faces, knocking on doors, and smashing property.
Oh wait that is the left which are doing that, and this fool once again who stayed silent now speaks against Trump, after he spoke against cruz.
This election has shown us all that the media is part of the left’s campaign , that the left are the NAZI S.A thugs which did the same as they are doing now, and that the left cares nothing about this country, or her citizens.
I’ll say it. I’m embarrassed I voted for this clown three times.
Right on
Saudi Royal Family, please zip up the mouth hole on your gimp!
The Bushes have proven they are incredibly angry and took part in attempted murder of our country. Now they continue to go even lower. Disgraceful people.
