I’m of two minds. Its election time, The Atlantic is leftist-elitist propoganda, and they want to naturally put a spotlight on a GOP split and the “never Trump” faction. So its all propaganda.
On the other hand, many DC beltway RINOs have showed their uniparty hand and want to return to the cozy country-club Republican days. That’s a fact.
Is GWB one of them? I don’t know and don’t care.
One thing is for sure - if Trump wins, its his GOP and it will be remade.
If Trump loses this election, the Beltway Rinos are preparing for a beer-hall putsch to take back control of the GOP
If the Bush League Republicans take back the GOP, they may have a party, but they won’t have voters.
