(CNN)George W. Bush doesn't talk much about politics in public. Which makes the speech he gave Thursday in New York City -- a point-by-point rejection of Trumpism -- all the more important and noteworthy. The 43rd president of the United States -- and the last Republican to hold the office before Donald Trump -- didn't mention the 45th president by name in his speech at the George W. Bush Institute. But Trump -- and his views -- were ever-present in the former President's address.
Bush condemned "nationalism distorted into nativism." He derided "discourse degraded by casual cruelty." He acknowledged that "our politics seems more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication." And, most importantly, Bush said that "bigotry seems emboldened."

Hearing that dolt's voice again on the radio made me feel ill.

We gave this elitist establishment dweller two terms in the WH with both houses of Congress and HE DID NOTHING with it

Au contraire! He, and the other swamp beasts gave us: TARP, NCLB, biggest expansion of an entitlement in history, debt as far as the eye can see, NSA, DHS, ‘Religion of Peace’ and *MORE*, plus, my *personal* favorite, “compassionate Conservatism”.
What this REALLY tells me is that Trump is draining the Swamp and the Swamp is starting to panic.
He gave us No Child Left Behind and Medicare prescription benefits!

He also called the war on militant islam terrorism right after 9-11 calling islam a “religion of peace”. He then blamed Osama Bin Laden, thereby turning a “war” into a manhunt. On 9-12 Bush safely air lifted the Saudi Royal family members that were in America on 9-11 out of the country when no planes were flying. A globalist shill for Saudi Arabian oil interests just like many in the U.S. government.
The Left Then: The Assassination of Bush Good!
The Left Now: The Assassination from Bush Good!
W: FAILURE!
Never said a word about Obama.

Thanks for the post. I agree. Trump has the ability to sense what a large segment of the population is feeling. I read “Alien Nation” long ago and observed that we have let immigrants into the country (legal and illegal) for quite a long time without ever having a public debate over the concept. About time. Trump came along and made this a major part of his agenda. Struck a nerve and obviously distinguished him from his GOP opponents. He won me over on the spot. My liberal friends would have bet dollars to donuts against him, I was in his camp but would not have taken the bet. I believe along with many that the game was rigged and now we see how strongly it is rigged.
I hope we can pull off a house cleaning, but it is clear that it is a massive undertaking.
And to your last point. Never giving up on the second amendment.
I too hope Our President can clean the swamp. However we have a problem with our AG, Sessions refusal to allow a real cleaning. All of the leaders of the FBI were in the investigation of the Uranium sale by the clinton/obama term in office. They are now running an investigation of President Trump’s so called collusion with Russia. I’m wondering why Sessions will not lift a gag order, put on a fellow by nobama.
I wonder too about Sessions. Perhaps they have something on him that we need to learn about.
