Bush: 'I'm worried that I will be the last Republican president'
CNN ^ | 6/19/16 | Erin Bradner

Cleveland (CNN)Former President George W. Bush fretted to a group of former aides and advisers in April that he was worried he could be the "last Republican president."

The 43rd president's remark, at a gathering in Dallas of his administration's staffers, reflected a dim view of the party's prospects at a time when the primary contest was realistically down to Donald Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

Junior kept his trap shut about Obozo for the last 7.5 years. And so he picks now, in the middle of the GOP convention, to start chiming in - to slam the GOP nominee?


It’s basically the McCain Romney Way. Attack your own side, kowtow to the democrats.

I’m sure if O and the DNC have their way, it will be true.

The DNC needs a fake opposition party so it looks like we still have a functioning democracy so they will NOT let the GOP end.

If he was, they sure ended on a crappy note...for the last two Republican presidents, not just the last one.

Shut your trap and go away Georgie. If we never see another GOP president it will be in large part due to the fecklessness of the last two - you and your father.

No kidding....why now? Just go away and take the Clintons with you. Good God. Talk about tone deaf......although I know that is not what it is about.

I was worried about that, too, as you left the borders open and jailed Border Patrol.

I would never have voted for you a second time if I had known you were REDUCING border and interior enofrcement AFTER 9/11.

That was unforgivable.

So was telling everyone that Islam is a religion of peace.
That flies in the face of all historical evidence.
It has always been a religion of conquest and slavery.
The are no moderate muslims because there is nothing moderate about Islam.

W said this back in APRIL!
CNN gleefully trots this out during the convention. Of course it was an idiotic thing to say, but in the context of uncontrolled borders, might not be far off the mark.

If he is the standard, then the defective model should be retired.

He may have been the last professional politician. Maybe from now on we’ll have men who make decisions after listening to all the possibilities available to them So George may be the last of the “yes” men.

Mr. George W.
I knew a man named Dubya and he’d dance for you, in worn out shoes
Silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants, that old soft shoe
He’d jump so high, he’d jump so high, will he likely touch down ?
Mr. George W., Mr. George W., dance.

I remember when this nitwit came on the scene saying that he was a “compassionate conservative”. I always found that extremely insulting since he is insinuating that conservatives aren’t compassionate. Now we seen what brilliant minds he surrounded himself with. Aside from Cheny, every one of his half-brain trust is squealing like stuck pigs since Trump arrived.
