[George H.W. Bush] harbors a deep disgust for Trump, who mocked and insulted his son throughout the primary and whose life of shameless self-promotion and a coarse approach to politics are an affront to the cultivated gentility and pragmatic, big-tent conservatism he and his sons personified.(My emphasis.)
This is an absolutely perfect, although inadvertent, description of how the Bushes have their collective heads so far up their asses that one can see their ears wiggle when the open their mouths. Trump has smashed that attitude and given the Republican a new chance to live by doing it. GO, DONALD, GO!!!
Cultivated gentility???? Then what are these “genteel” folks doing socializing with and praising utter liars and criminals like Bubba and H-Beast Clinton?
George and Barbara Bush have turned out to be about as genteel as Bonnie and Clyde.
