A while back somebody over at Ace of Spades mentioned that with 2 or 3 exceptions, every member of Dubya's administration turned into a Democrat. My first thought was "that can't be right", and then I got thinking. And it wasn't pretty. So I decided I'd go through and get the backup behind Ace's assertion. After going back and editing, this post feels like Apocalypse Now's Captain Willard and his trip up the river that starts out OK and slowly but surely becomes a nightmare. I report; you decide:
Press Secretary
Ari Fleisher - Not as bad as most of this list, but he did buy into the false narrative about Trump mishandling classified documents.
Scott McClellan - blasted the Dubya administration in his memoir, which actually works in his favor nowadays.
Tony Snow - Died in 2008, was always a Conservative.
Dana Perino - Condemned Coupmala for not immediately conceding.
So far so good. Don't worry; it foes downhill quickly.
Attorney General
John Ashcroft - He called Trump a new hope for the US. I have to admit, I like him better now than I did back then,
Alberto Gonzalez - Endorsed Harris. Also supported Trump being cast into The Garland Archipelago with the rest of the January 6th Reichstag Fire victims.
Michael Mukasey - While he called Trump's threat to prosecute Hillary were Banana Republic level, he stood by Trump during the lawfare against him. I give him kudos for consistency.
Secretary of Defense
Donald Rumsfeld - He might not have become a Democrat, but he was the architect of the new warfare strategy of "Endless war with no intention of achieving victory." I think a fairer assessment would be to label Rummy as Uniparty.
Robert Gates " There aren't enough Republicans denouncing White Supremacy." I've got a better idea - how about if you go (fornicate) yourself?
Secretary of the Treasury
Henry Paulson - Architect of the $700 Billion bank bailout. Whenever his name would come up whenever I was talking politics with friends I always said I wished Dubya had introduced Paulson in a press conference like this:
Dubya: "This isn't just 'some guy.' He has a name, and his name is Henry Paulson."
Random Simpleton in the Press Corps: "I understand, sir. In serving this administration, a member has a name. And his name is Henry Paulson."
The rest of the WHPC's Simpletons join in, quietly chanting: "His name is Henry Paulson. His name is Henry Paulson. "
Sorry for the aside, but it's been a while since I've had the opportunity to drop a good Fight Club reference.
John Snow - He got pushed out to be replaced with Paulson. That puts Snow in the Good Guy side of the ledger.
Secretary of State
Colin Powell - He endorsed Barry O back in 2008, and after Trump was elected showed some incredible gall: "Powell didn’t mince words when discussing Trump and his actions while in office. He said that Trump was the first president in his lifetime who wasn't attempting to unite the country." Only a Democrat can tell such a bald faced lie with a straight face.
Condoleeza Rice - While smart enough to not hitch herself to the disaster that was Coupmala's campaign, it's not hard to figure out what she was suggesting when she said that "isolationism has never been the answer to the United States’ security or prosperity." In all fairness she could have said much worse, but the era of the weak kneed Republican is over.

The Bush family is Deep State so it would make sense.
the answer was is and is still...they were always liberals. rino,democrat, what’s the difference? not surprised at all.
Because they were to start with?
They didn’t “turn into” Democrats. They simply took off their sheep’s clothing to reveal who they really were.
lol.
They are all NeverTrumpers.
They always were...............
Our once again soon to be PDJT, the GOAT, along with the people’s MAGA movement has exposed them all.
“How did Every Member of the Bush Administration Turn into a Democrat?”
uh, because they were REALLY Democrats under their masks all along and were just RINOs all along?
The US Government was set up to loot the US Treasury.
Party affiliation is just a means to an end.
Oaths of office are unenforceable, therefore a formality.
The Bushes are grifters like all the rest.
Party fluidity chases the money.
Prove me wrong.
they’re progressives and always have been.
in both parties.
Because they were always democrats who despised the common working man.
John Bolton was an asset to Trump because everyone knew that he was a war hawk. All Trump had to do was to say that he’s listening to Bolton.
Have said it many times that most of them are closet democrats who just play republican to get elected or selected in republican states and administrations.
Agreed. Still, Bush was better than Gore/Kerry. Still again, glad he and his dynasty are gone.
The are the original RINOS.
Because they are all deep state RINOs.
Bush wasn’t much of a conservative to begin with.
