I cannot express enough how the mighty Bush family has destroyed itself from my perspective.
When Bush Sr. was sworn in, I thought him to be one of the most prepared men to hold the office. He had held a number of top level positions. He had been there during the Reagan years.
The lead up to the first Iraq war, was solid. His ability to get Arabs on our side, or at least to stay neutral was excellent. He got Europe involved.
And then after the war, he seemed to think he could coast.
He did not run a conventional campaign. He was AWOL for far too long.
IMO < he gave the election to Clinton. From there, it was downhill all the way for the family.
I never saw GW as a Conservative who got it. He was a warmed over bucket of horse sweat. He was a moderate. He was vintage GOPe.
Yes, I supported some of the things he did. And yes, he left the nation in the pit of despair in January 2009.
He so thoroughly screwed up our nation (it happened on his watch), that there was at least some serious talk of whether the Capitalist system was what we had talked it up to be.
Conservatism, the ideology he never bought into, was trashed as if he was it’s best protagonist.
Our economic system was in a shambles as he left office.
Welcome, Barack Obama...
Now GW shoots him mouth off, as if when Trump returns us to where we should be, it will be an affront to him (Bush) personally.
That family should be banned from politics. (okay, I know we can’t do that, but our party sure could) (Just say no!)
Bush 2 was the spare, Low energy Jeb! was the one supposed to be in the Oval Office
What drives the NeverTrumpers is trying to protect their 30 year bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of laws and borders with the goal of changing the demographics of the country.
George H W Bush, instead of implementing the enforcement measures of the 1986 amnesty that were to prevent the need of another, set in motion the illegal alien inundation that now numbers over 30 million.
The illegal alien inundation was intentional.
They invited those people here against our will and they do not want us restoring the rule of law and sending them home.
Trump broke through the Bush blockade of only nominating amnesty candidates that kept us from stopping the Cheap Labor Express.
NeverTrump is really NeverSovereignty.
The purpose of the illegal alien inundation is to dilute American citizens votes so they can institute their new world order.
US and our freedoms stand in their way.

You’re certainly not alone. We should form a club of former GWB supporters.
Remember how passionate we were protesting in Westwood the vote recount of 2001? Can’t go back but it meant everything to us at that time! Shame on GWB! To my knowledge, there isn’t a place to voice our opinion to him - the library/museum doesn’t take emails.. I tried when I had heard originally he wasn’t going to attend the 2017 inauguration...Suppose I could write a letter but really don’t feel like wasting my time!
Forgot to say - excellent post....thanks.
My dad hated Poppy Bush since his New World Order speech.
I think he as told to throw the 92 election as he showed so little effort and ran such a vicious campaign against Buchanan who would have been true to Reagan’s values and whooped BJ Clinton.
