Jeb and the rest of male Bushies are afraid to challenge Trump directly. Kim Jong Un is no longer afraid of Trump. The Bushies of terrified of Trump.
This is a desperate last stand for the GOPe, especially if North Korea cooperates.

Many readers likely are wondering why Laura Bush put her name on an op-ed condemning President Trump for enforcing a border protection law that her husband signed into law.
The short answer is she is all the Democrats have left
Their leadership is too tainted by scandal or incompetence (and in the case of Hillary, both) to persuade anyone.
Bill is a joke with his pants around his ankles. Obama's legacy quickly shrank like a cheap T-shirt in its first wash. Not one of their 2020 candidates had sense enough to give President Trump a sportsmanlike chance, which renders their sermons on morality to be the political opportunism in the eyes of even among the low-information voters who are the bedrock of their electoral battle plan.
Thus the outreach to a former Republican. Old President Bush is too old. The younger President Bush is too ashamed of his presidency to speak out.
So it fell upon Laura Bush to put her name on this column.
She is a former Republican because if you did not support our candidate in the last presidential election, then you have left the team. Parties are national. Either you support the nominee or you lose your membership.
The Democrats are pushing to erase the borders. They cannot make a valid argument, and so they must make an emotional one. They chose children being torn from their mothers as the emotional tug.
The roll out 10 days ago was messy because they chose for their propaganda a heart-wrenching photo from 2014 -- when Democrats were in charge.
But nevertheless, they plunge forward. They want open borders now, now, now.
"I live in a border state. I appreciate the need to enforce and protect our international boundaries, but this zero-tolerance policy is cruel. It is immoral. And it breaks my heart," she wrote.
That's the law her husband agreed to.
And the piece included the kind of chest-thumping morality that Obama favors.
"Americans pride ourselves on being a moral nation. If we are truly that country, then it is our obligation to reunite these detained children with their parents — and to stop separating parents and children in the first place," she wrote.
How many children of military parents did her husband separate with his wars in Afghanistan and Iraq?
The Establishment likes cheap labor and so they exploit illegal immigrants to achieve this.
Which they wrap in morality, like Keith Olbermann wrapping himself in an American flag for his book cover. The difference is they are less sincere.

Thank you Bratch for this incredible personal testimony.
How right we are.
Using Laura is similar to the Nazi’s recruiting young lads to go out to fight during WWII
BTW - L. Graham (SC) is acting suspicious lately.
Have you seen this:
Lindsey Graham stands behind Homeland Security chief on Mexico border separation policy

Any means possible to see re-election.
Also, attempting to remember L BUSH’s remark when she was showing the BO’B family around the WH that first day. IIRC a reporter?? asked her ‘do you feel BO’B is eligible to be living here? She gave a whimpy reply, certainly not one which gave any here the assumption she had OUR welfare in mind. Searched to find something on the true or imaginary exchange. Unable to find anything! Someone, HELP!
Plus one rant
Any mom cute as yours who smoked pall mall reds
I salute you and her
His Twitter home is here.
FWIW, on my best day I couldn't approach his writing skills.
The entire criminal Kennebunkport Bush crime family is still smarting from the humiliating thumping administered by Donald J. Trump in 2016. They despise Trump and would do or say anything to attempt to damage him.
Yes, one can see (from the egg on their faces) they were the infamous foxes in the hen house.
Yes, Lindsey Graham is a strange cat.
He made commentary during The Adventures of Kim and Don in Singapore show. He was mostly supportive of Trump.
And in the last month or so, Michael Savage actually had LG on his radio program! Over the years, Savage has — well— savaged LG! So it was great to hear the two of them talking.
Trump broght them together to cooperate on saving the wild life in Africa.
Strange bedfellows are everywhere these days. But that’s our VSG-POTUS is all about — unity and MAGA.
