Cleveland (CNN)Former President George W. Bush fretted to a group of former aides and advisers in April that he was worried he could be the "last Republican president."
The 43rd president's remark, at a gathering in Dallas of his administration's staffers, reflected a dim view of the party's prospects at a time when the primary contest was realistically down to Donald Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

Nixon said in 1972 if George Bush Sr ever got his hands on the Presidency, he would destroy America. He knew the Bushies.
You have yourself to blame George. For the good things you did as president there was a heck of a lot worse. Spending, liberalism, centralizing of power. You never once stood up against the endless attacks against yourself.
...and Harry Truman was the last democrat president.
Then vote for Trump....as president he will have a chance to change it
The last time the Republicans won the Presidency without a Bush on the ticket was 1976. Much damage has happened since. Good riddance!
I was watching Melania last night and thinking “Boy, it would be great to have a classy first lady again. We haven’t had one since Nancy.”
If you and he want to write-in for Hillary, probably no one will ever know, or even care...
Boy, this whole sorry set of affairs sure is making Nixon look better in hindsight.
Despite likely getting SCROOOOOD by voter fraud in 1960, he gracefully conceded because he did not want to put the country through that turmoil, nor look like a sore loser.
In 1974 he had the decency to resign when caught red-handed rather than put the country through an impeachment trial and further divide us.
Deeply flawed for sure....but a better man than much of what we’re seeing today.
GW was silent for 7 years while obama lied about everything.
GW let all of obama;s accusations and lies hang as truth.
GW never defended anything..
GW abandoned us.
Bush is being a jerk. He needs to just stop.
I was worried that you were president at all.
And your son would be more to blame for anyone than that.
I dont think any of your kids could find their ###es from the elbows.
The Republican Party sealed it’s fate when it threw in with the globalist in the 1990’s. Pappa Bush I had a lot to do with it.
“Conservative”: I do not think that word means what you think it means.
GWB: If Jeb had been nominated, would you consider him a conservative President?
W begat Obama
‘I’m worried that I will be the last Bush president’
When did W become a drama queen?
Thank you for that complete synopsis of this evil family. It sickens me how often YoungCons.com and IJReview worship everything G.W. Bush says.
“The last time the Republicans won the Presidency without a Bush on the ticket was 1976.”
And the last time the Republicans won the White House without a Bush or Nixon on the ticket was 1928.
Demography is destiny. Bush 41 and 43 were terrible on immigration. Bush 41 doubled the cap on legal permanent immigrants and Bush 43 pushed amnesty and didn’t enforce our immigration laws.
