Gingrich: Bushes are behaving 'childishly'

Posted on 07/18/2016 8:34:20 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Passed over for the job of joining the Republican presidential ticket as Donald Trump’s running mate, Newt Gingrich showed Monday that his willingness to serve as an attack dog has not diminished. In a pair of morning show interviews Monday on ABC and MSNBC, respectively, the former House speaker showed no hesitation in sharing his opinions on, among other topics, President Barack Obama, race in America, the Bush family and Trump’s campaign.

Gingrich dismissed the notion that the lack of prominent Republicans at this week’s national convention in Cleveland represented some larger trouble within the GOP. He attacked 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney, a vocal opponent of Trump’s, as a bandwagon jumper whose support for the party “lasted as long as we were supporting him.” The former speaker had even stronger words for the Bush family, none of whom will be in Cleveland this week.

Imagine if Warren G. Harding had refused to show up at the 1920 convention, but it was in Chicago, not Cleveland.

G HW Bush’s dad, Prescott Bush, had his bank taken away for funding the Nazis. The Bush family have been traitors to the real America for nearly 100 years. Prescott, George Sr, and George Jr were all Skull and Bones at Yale. Skull and Bones was founded in 1830s by the Whitney family whose fortune is from the Opium trade.

Actually the Bush family should move to Mexico where they would be right at home. Not a big change for them. Life as usual.

Jeb and his stammering idiot brother George Junior will spend the convention week in Saudi Arabia providing intimate services to the Saudi royal family.

The off spring of Bushco are childish.

They know that Trump has destroyed any political future for them and hopefully any other Bushco’s.

Another good thing Trump has accomplished in his run to be our president.

Bushes though are still popular in TX, where they expect to launch George P. as the 2024 nominee.

Cheif of Staff is a make the trains run on time position. Not at all suited to Newt temperament or talents. Newt is an out of the box idea man. Not an lawyer or engineer. Newt would make a horrible Chief of Staff.

It’s becoming more and more clear why GW and clan bought 100,000 acres in Paraguay.

Right on, Right on Right on. And don’t forget Kasich...

Donald Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort also criticized Kasich, the Ohio governor, for announcing he wouldn’t be at the convention in his home state.

“You know what, he’s making a big mistake,” Manafort said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program. “He’s hurting his state and embarrassing his state, frankly. But most of the Republicans who aren’t coming are people who have been part of the past. And people who are part of the future of the Republican Party are, frankly, going to be here participating in the program.”
