Well, they’re on life support, and it’s Trump who’s keeping them alive. I don’t know what they’ll do after him.

IMHO, Trump should use this as a rallying point in campaigning for a second term. The point should be that the usual suspects, almost all of whom come from a specific pedigree, have been horrific as leaders, aren’t qualified to be leaders, and are part of an elitist oligarchy that doesn’t respect those voters who don’t agree with their self-centered world view.

He should link Bush, and the entrenched DC bureaucracy with people like Stzrok - who said he could smell the Trump voters at Walmart. Specifically, he should paint them with the elitist brush they have been trying to paint the rest of the world with.

I might even make the point that George W Bush went after Hussain for very personal reasons (he threatened to assassinate his dad), and that whereas the sentiment is understandable, a leader of the free-world has the responsibility to put the nation and Americans ahead of personal feelings.

He should also make the very, very accurate point that people like GW Bush, and Romney, have little if any understanding of everyday American citizens, and thus have very little understanding of or commitment to their needs.

He can call them the ‘Unconnected’, who put their own desires and their own allegiances before what’s best for America, and before what the American people want.

Bush and Romney are up to something.

I predict at the end of October, a "deep fake" video will come out ,supposedly from The Apprentice, where it has Trump saying racist things about blacks and hispanics. Of course it will take a few weeks to prove it was a fake - they are getting harder to detect- but by then the harm will have been done.

Let me get this straight. One a hole who threw the election to Obama and another who not once defended himself against slander think trump is a problem? Folks if these two jerks are able to convince one person it is all over. Watching bush process the 9/11 news I knew he was over his head. Romney has always been a snake. Too bad he is insulated in Utah.

Fine by me. I don’t back Bush and Romney.....or the rest of the old Republican Party Establishment.

They were weak and feckless owing primarily to the fact that they didn’t believe what they said every 4 years. In their minds, that was just the stuff they had to say “for the rubes”. They brought us endless meddling and nation building overseas, refusing to defend our borders, a flood of cheap foreign labor via H1bs, a blind eye toward China while they cheated us blind, endless giveaways to the Europeans, the UN, etc etc and endless surrender to the cultural marxists on culture issues.

Trump rescued the Republican Party by wresting control of it away from them, by getting rid of a lot of their failed policies and by actually fighting back against the Democrats and their propaganda arm, the MSM.

It also goes to show that ever since GHWB in 1988, we really didn’t have a choice in any election, until 2016.

Are you talking about Colon Powell, our affirmative action General, the one who couldn’t lead a starving kitten out of a burning building with a saucer of warm milk? That one? The one who the next time says something of substance will be the first time... The one who, instead of thanking God that he was in the right place and time to become a General Officer, for no apparent reason, who instead of slinking away with his 5,000 dollar a month pension and keeping his mouth shut, actually believes what a bunch of lefties write about him. That one? POS in an Army uniform.

Trump exposing their crimes. Bushes must be mixed up in some fishy stuff along with the rest of them. Guess W won’t be at the next inauguration. All those past presidents are who got us in the mess we are in. Guess O and the Mooch won’t be there either

Such a betrayal would likely be the end of the GOP too

The GOP has already ended. Trump is just borrowing the name.

So putting America first is not the policy of the government? Ok Powell. Trump must be threatening your income from who knows where. Same with Bush and Romney

The Democrats now want to eliminate the police and give carte blanche to crime, and these idiots think Trump is the problem? Give me a break. These people are twisted.

Of these (one president and the others P & VP candidates), who was the BEST at FAKING being a Republican?
ANSWER: Paul Ryan

No. Bush. Paul Ryan was too unimportant and too forgettable to leave much of an impression on anybody. This may be the first time this year I've seen his name mentioned, and I didn't think of him much even when he was in politics. Ryan struck no chord with anybody. Bush got people to put him in the White House and to go to war.

Who cares?

The Uniparty has lied about everything including the words "the" and "and" for decades.

Once an elected Republican no longer needs to worry about asking conservatives for their vote, they step out from behind their mask and actively do what they can to help elect the Democrat. (see George Bush, Colin Powell, Chuck Hagel) Sickening.

We need a new party. After Trump gets reelected hopefully a new party can catch on. The majority of current elected Republicans are as corrupt as they come. They only run as conservatives under the Republican banner in order to get elected. They have no integrity (see Joe Scarborough, former Republican Congressman from Florida/MSNBC Morning Joe), and their allegiance is for sale to the highest bidder (think Donahue/China).

The swamp is deep. Trump is up against the swamp/China/Chamber of Commerce/Tom Donahue/MSM. They all need Trump out of the way to get back to where they were before Trump.
