Let’s see. Trump won Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin all states Bush couldn’t win, so I think Trump has a pulse on the electorate. I really regret wasting 4 votes on this damnable family. They’ve been screwing up this country for over 35 years now. My first vote for President was in 1988 and Trump is the first candidate i have ever been proud to cast my vote for.

Immigration reform/control the borders. Market-oriented health care reform. Personal investment accounts/privatization in Social Security. School choice/vouchers. Right to life. End the attack on religious liberty. Tax reform.

The issues haven't changed. Anger has nothing to do with any of them. Except the cold-blooded kind. But we will face a filibuster on every one of these.

Bush should make as many public suggestions and admonishments to Trump as he made for Obama.

In other words, ditto to your statement “STFU all ready”

I saw it. He contradicted himself, made no sense and appeared a little drunk. Oh, now he comes out to criticize - where’s he been for 8 years?

Most of the former members of his administration supported Hillary.

So George W. can piss off.

Has G W turned into a total weenie?

Who is angry? Not the president elect or his supporters.

Donald Trump will simply go about enforcing the laws of our nation....and that is anger?

Obama ruined the nation for 8 years and we wanted it fixed and the eGOP refused, now we vacate the eGOP.

If anyone is angry, its G W Bush . He is talking to himself.
But really Bush is trying to save what is left of the eGOP, which is not much at all. (I saw the Bush meme on TV)

Bush should be supporting President Trump whole-heartedly, but Bush has joined the Obama naysayer disinformation campaign which Obama himself is taking to Europe and the Pacific.

The eGOP and Obama’s liberal fascist movement of political correctness cannot avoid the dust bin of history, no amount of campaigning by Bush or Obama will stop that.

Elections have consequences, and this election is historical consequential, once again the laws of our nation will rule, not political correctness based on Obama’s or the eGOP’s notion of moral superiority. That’s not anger.

And Bush should not be allowed to get away with saying it is anger.

So long progressives. Go get a life.

I always thought GW Bush was basically a good man who loved America, despite his many shortcomings. But.......I have come to the conclusion that he and the entire family of Bushies, are in the same league as Obama, Soros, Clinton, etc.,...they only care about themselves, not our country!!! I have no use for any of them. To me,none of them exist, except for the fact that they are all vile, low life human beings!!! So.....please, no Bushies, no Media, no Democrats, No Obamas, No Clintons, no Hollywoods, etc.!!!

I wouldn’t give much weight to the opinions of the man whose legacy inflicted BHO on America.

Bush said. "But anger shouldn't drive policy. What needs to drive policy is what's best for the people who are angry."

And who exactly determines what's best? Rhetorical question...

The will of We The People should be the ONLY factor driving policy. Period.

But I cannot give him a pass based on that.

I don't think I gave him a pass in my post. Instead, I told him to keep his opinions to himself.

I will agree though that he tried to hard to be liked by those who despised him and that caused him to make some (a lot of) extremely bad decisions which still haunt us today.

Strangely, Mr. Trump is receiving that EXACT same type of treatment that Mr. Busch received as President-elect. You would think that his "advice" would be more along the lines of "maintain a thick skin" ... but, I fear, Mr. Bush stills wants to be liked by those that despise him.
