Pat Buchanan: Donald Trump’s Rise Is Rejection of a Quarter Century of Bush Republicanism

In an exclusive statement to Breitbart News, 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.”

Turns out ole Pat has been right all along.

I thought W was replaced about 7 years ago. Maybe I’m wrong, who knows.

[boycott]

It’s Bush’s fault. That sounds like Obama.

The Bushes are GOPe. The GOPe has been the problem. There is not much real difference between them and demos.

[King of Florida]

Yes, he was replaced in the GOP -- by McCain and then Romney. Before him we had his Poppy and then Dole. Woo-hoo. What a stellar lineup.

[grania]

What Pat Buchanan says still has weight with a lot of Republicans.

I wish more people would read his history books. They're very well researched and devoid of any hint of political correctness.

REAGANS. Biggest mistake was the first George Bush

Tossed Reagans agenda the first day

[silverleaf]

He’s talking about the GOP brand, not the WH

And he’s right

And the Bush GOP is just as responsible for bringing us obama as the low info voter class
Maybe more so

[monkeywrench]

It was under bush that you stopped hearing America first and the word nationalist became a dirty word.

Finally! Someone has hit the nail on the head. Papa Bush began this illegal alien train wreck that has invaded our homeland. IMO, Papa Bush set the table for Clinton, his son, and Obamie to totally transform this country into the mess it now is.

Thank God, America has finally woke up and has put the brakes on electing another Bush.

However, contrary to what the writings of professional Republicans may suggest, Buchanan explains that the Republican electorate - and the American people in general - have resoundingly rejected the Bush legacy and, more broadly, have rejected Republican globalism.

"America is rejecting the Bush immigration policy that refused to secure our border, allowed 12 million illegals to enter, then proffered amnesty because it said the United States is helpless to do anything about their presence here," Buchanan said.

Pat is spot on here. The only two things that George W Bush consistently fought for during his two terms in office was Amnesty for illegals and his insistence that islam was a religion of peace.

This election is a repudiation of the Bush Presidencies and I hope like hell they KNOW it!
