Peter Wehner, a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, served in the last three Republican administrations

Peter Wehner is one of Bush's stooges who gets in the news by going after anyone the Bush family or other GOP Establishment types don't like. Last time I remember seeing his name is when he went after Mark Levin. He's a Bush/Compassionate Conservative Establishment type. If he will never vote for Trump, it makes me more likely to vote for Trump.

Like the last 3 Republican administrations have given the GOP any popular appeal to the voters

Clinton and obama are the result of the last 3 republican administrations

“Peter Wehner is one of Bush’s stooges who gets in the news by going after anyone the Bush family or other GOP Establishment types don’t like. Last time I remember seeing his name is when he went after Mark Levin. He’s a Bush/Compassionate Conservative Establishment type.”

Exactly right; establishment Republican to the core.

Mark Levins Thoughts on Peter Wehner: ‘Clueless’

By Michael Morris November 4, 2014
http://cnsnews.com/mrctv-blog/michael-morris/mark-levin-s-thoughts-peter-wehner-clueless

Nationally syndicated radio host, Mark Levin, called out Peter Wehner today on both Twitter and Facebook.

Peter Wehner, in his blog titled What Reagan Understood That Some Reaganites Do Not, defends James Bakers attack on Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel, while insisting that Reagan liked and trusted Mr. Baker, to the point that he made Mr. Baker his chief of staff in his first term and secretary of the Treasury in his second.

However, Mark Levin, having been a part of the Reagan administration, seems to think otherwise.

Here is what he had to say in a recent Facebook Note:
Jim Baker smears Netanyahu on Sunday and on Tuesday Pete Wehner uses the occasion to praise him, lecture Reaganites, and preach pragmatism. Clueless.

But just what did Peter Wehner include in his blog on The Wall Street Journal? Wehner referred to Levins tweet linking to an article in The Hill, wherein Levin wrote: I never liked James Baker, and neither did most of the original Reaganites.

Many on the right didnt like or trust Mr. Baker, who after all worked for his friend George H.W. Bush when Mr. Bush challenged Ronald Reagan in 1980, writes Wehner.

That apparently includes Levin, who said Baker is bad news, and he proved it on CNNs State of the Union over the weekend.
Baker went out of his way to trash Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel and pile on with Barack Obama and the rest of them, said Levin.

Wehner, later in his piece, called James Baker a hard-headed pragmatist suggesting that different people bring different strengths to different jobs, and people of different views and worlds can compliment each other in an administration. And Reagan knew that Bakers differences would bring his presidency great success.

Of course, Levin didnt let this praise for Baker go unanswered. Later in the day, Levin tweeted the following:

More on Pete Wehners ideal pragmatist James Baker, who once reportedly declared fxck the Jews.

Its too bad Wehner didnt include my other comments about Bakers contempt for Israel, joked Levin, but just in case you missed them, you can read and listen to them here:

Breitbart may have summed him up best...
