Exactly. The headline is misleading (I suspect intentional on the part of the WaPo editors)

When Trump beats Hillary, he will have rid us of both the Bushs and the clintons in one season.
Not an easy task. I pray you're right.

Perhaps GHWBush still has butt-hurt over the Perot insurgency and views Trump as being from the same mold. Trump has been critical of GWBush on mid-east policies and other topics. Little wonder that the Bush folks are not embracing Trump like they have embraced Bubba Clinton in the post-Presidential love fest of the three ex-presidents. Trump has both distanced himself from the GOPe all the while expanding the “tent” of the GOP - which the GOPe HATES, like Harry Reid’s comment about ‘you can smell the visitors’....

The anger can’t be associated with the Republican base.
The Bushes NEVER were part of the base!

H.W. told us all he needed to know in this photo. He does not serve the same master as do we.

The Bushes are a cancer on the prostate of America!

Any association with any Bush would not add votes in the general and might subtract some.

Bush’s hard line stance? You mean letting the Bin Laden family aircraft leave the US during the no fly period? Or classifying the report to protect the Saudis?
Please.

Homeland Security, TSA, Iraq, domestic surveillance (NSA) ... off the top of my head. Let me help: Common Core, John Roberts, Moqtada Al Sadr, Medicare Part D, mass amnesty bill, renewal of voting rights act...

Bushes snub of Trump has roots in Republican base anger I think it's more due to the whupping Trump laid on poor Jeb!.
To: montag813
Are you implying that G.H.W.B. Serves the global elites and worships the same god as they do, which is essentially Satan?
Because that’s what I am implying!

This article attempts to explain conservative unhappiness with the Bushes without even mentioning immigration, trade or the Iraq war.
To: Stingray51
It does immigration, but not the other two.
