Pat Buchanan: Donald Trump’s Rise Is Rejection of a Quarter Century of Bush Republicanism
breitbart.com ^ | 2/18/2016 | Julia Hahn

Pat Buchanan declared that Trump’s rise represents a rejection of 25 years of Bush Republicanism— an ideology which Buchanan says has destroyed America’s once-great manufacturing core, flooded the country with low-skilled workers, and drained the treasury with ill-advised foreign adventures in the Middle East.

“In the GOP nomination race, the chickens of a quarter century of Bush Republicanism have come home to roost,” Buchanan told Breitbart. “Trump’s triumphs to date are due to his recognition of, and identification with, the Middle American revolt against Bush family ideology and policy, and what it has produced.”

Buchanan explained that “America is rejecting the Bush immigration policy,” which has “proffered amnesty” to “12 million illegals… because it said the United States is helpless to do anything about their presence here.”

“America’s establishment has failed America,” Buchanan said, “The single clearest message in the presidential campaign of 2015-2016 is that the American people would like to cleanse our capital city of its ruling class.”

Pat arguing that Bush failures explain the rise of Trump. And the elites don't get it. Still.

Pat knows the failure of the Bushes firsthand, but does he know that the American people like Mrs. Bill?

the hippies refused to fight because they were cowards and we have been pussays ever since. An immune system that stops fighting opens you up to dying from a head cold. A civilization has to be like Sparta to stay alive. Prepare for battle 24/7

And Boehner Republicanism, and McConnell Republicanism and Hatch Republicanism and, well, you get the picture.

Bush Republicanism has a way of benefitting the Bushes, their cronies, and nobody else. Of course it’s being rejected.

How many of you Trumplodytes were calling PJB a “Nazi” back when you were Bushbots? The only differences between Pat & Trump are that Pat really believes what he says & he is not a whiny ten-year old.

Pat Buchanan is 100% correct.

It isn’t even the Bush policies. It is the GOP betrayal. Time after time Republican voters go to the polls and give the GOP a victory only to be betrayed by a the GOP caucus. The GOP just gave up all the spending constraints in this new budget, they turned the Constitution upside down on the Iran deal, and nothing has been done about Obama violating the immigration acts. Republican voters are sick and tired of this set of politicians.

The best part is, the Bush’s and Klinton’s are two sides of the same coin (they are family) ... they have to get one of them in there and it’s not looking good ...Buchanan was way ahead of his time...I proudly supported him when he ran

What makes Trump so scary is it’s not just republicans that are pissed off. Much like 1980 many traditional democrit voters are too. We have a chance to win Regan style and so far Trump is the one to do it. (In my opinion.) For conservatives that fear Trump will abandon us remember Regan was a democrat at one time too. For the few things Trump had to come around on I’m willing to bet on him, like my father did on Regan.
