Differences over President Trump reverberated during a weekend reunion bash for White House alumni of George W. Bush, exposing rifts in the network of Republican operatives and officials.
Matt Schlapp, a lobbyist and enthusiastic Trump supporter who served as political director in the Bush White House, had to be convinced to attend the reunion by a fellow "Bushie," often a term of scorn in the Trump White House, after he expressed fears of being confronted. Another Bush administration veteran, sometimes critical of Trump and sometimes not, was accosted at the gathering by a former colleague and accused of being too pro-Trump.
Both the Never Trump and pro-Trump factions are outspoken, rarely hesitating to criticize each other despite their shared Bush roots. That was the case as approximately 2,500 of them met for a few days in Washington to reminisce about old times

The Bush family is so clueless.
For the life of them, they couldn’t see a threat on the horizon with Hale Level Telescope aimed in the right direction.
Sadly, their little minions scurry around in circles near the adored ones, and are powerless or at the least just mindless enough not to think for themselves.
What else is there to say.
What a painful eight ears it was from January 2001 to January 2009.
We had Clinton, Bush, and Obama back to back.
What could go wrong did.
“Bush veterans such as Schlapp have a hard time understanding the resistance to Trump. The president has delivered on key Republican priorities”
Then Schlapp is incredibly naive. Most Bushies have no interest in delivering 90% of “Republican priorities”. False promises are key to winning elections for that crowd. Their real agenda is adding more zeros to their back accounts, no matter the long term damage to the country.
Had Bush delivered on more Republican priorities the party might not have turned to Trump.
The Bush Crime Family can eat shit and die as far as I am concerned.
Oh, boo hoo hoo for the disgruntled Bushies, who cannot see the forest for the trees. Would they have preferred Hillary? Then they have no claim to being Republican; so their opinion is worthless.
I'm with you. "Bush reunion" guest list, publish the names and current employment of all the embedded...(expletive deleted). People have a need to know where these Bushwackers are.
