Andy Card, who served as chief of staff to President George W. Bush, said on "CBS This Morning" Friday that the idea of Donald Trump as president worries him, citing the billionaire's "emotional" reactions as cause for concern.
"Yes, he scared me," Card said. "I will admit, when Donald Trump entered the race, I didn't think he had a chance."
"I want him to succeed, but he's gotta make the move to show me that he's worthy of my support, worthy of my vote," he added. "I will vote for a candidate -- right now I will probably write in a name, but I will vote. But I want him to really pay attention to the responsibility of being a president. Presidents do not have the luxury of making easy decisions. They make brutal, tough decisions."
Card, now the president of Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire, was also an adviser to President Ronald Reagan and President George H.W. Bush. Card was the White House chief of staff on Sept. 11, 2001, and headed the younger Mr. Bush's White House Iraq Group.
Joining other prominent Republicans who have said they could not back Trump, both Bush presidents said earlier this week that they would not endorse the Manhattan business mogul in his bid for the Oval Office.
The former White House adviser told the "CBS This Morning" co-hosts that Trump would have to change his behavior toward the Republican Party if he wants to win in a general election.
"He's gotta demonstrate that he cares about everybody in the party," Card said. "He has to change how he will be perceived to do the job. It's not all about Donald Trump now."
Of some Trump policies, Card dismissed them, saying "he's just giving a quick response."

Andy pisses pants, needs sfae place.
And he used to be a FReeper, no?
REALLY? Must have been opposition research.
Yeah, I thought so. Way back in the day.
I was pretty sure I’d seen him post and people acted as if it was real. Of course, that doesn’t mean it was but I thought it was, too.
this is getting embarrassing..... “me skeered”
spineless.... gutless.... weak...
i wonder if Trump laughs at this girly talk or shakes his head in dismay?

He’s a typical Bushbot from the sounds of things. They’re all crybabies now that NWO Open-Borders Jebby crashed and burned.
$115,000,000 dollars. And it’s not just because Jeb is a total tone-deaf loser, though that helped immensely. It’s because of what brother and daddy did to burn through whatever legacies they could have had.
And now the GOP Establishment haz a sad because Hillary has a real opponent who actually CARES about America and American citizens.
Beck wants conservatives to leave the Republican party.

This is the same Andy Card who made a Video for the White House Correspondent’s Dinner showing him looking under the Furniture for the missing Iraqi WMD’s after the War started.
Yeah, it was a real laugh fest. Tone Deaf doesn’t come close.
Best news I’ve read in days!
Goodbye Bushies, sit down, shut up and let us clean up the mess you’ve made.
Under the White House Furniture.
Like a lot of Trumpsters, you have trouble with reading full sentences. I’ll repeat my post. Try to read more than 5 words. Get someone to help you if needed:
“A Trump presidency scares me. A Hillary presidency terrifies me, nauseates me, and disgusts me. So Ill vote Trump. I also have voted for Romney & McCain, for the same reason.”
HE scares you? The SOB you worked for is responsible for colluding with Saudi Arabia after 9/11 and then starting TWO WARS in countries that had nothing to do with it!
God forgive my language but f u Andy Card and your war criminal pos president!
George W & his daddy were advocates if “The Religion of Peace”...for fun, fear and profit. Their time is over. Their dynasty in finished.
The Bushes had their chance. They passed a bill to secure the border in 2005 and then chose not to execute on it. If they did, we wouldn’t even be having this discussion now. Time for fresh leadership.
If Trump changes to what these rinos want him to be, Hillary will be president. Trump needs to stay true to what got him there.
But the son of a bitches have been hunky dory with Obama for 8 years. This is the establishment mindset we are dealing with.
So true. All of the sudden all these RINO/globalists are shouting Trump is dangerous, while it was crickets for Obama.
Has this guy ever said anything about obama and all the people around him?
Just praise I bet.
