Report: George W. Bush Told Inner Circle He Worries About Being 'Last GOP Prez'
Source: Talking Points Memo
Former President George W. Bush confided to his closest ex-aides that he fears Donald Trump's nomination could hasten the downfall of the Republican Party, according to a Politico story out Tuesday.
"I'm worried that I will be the last Republican President," Bush told former aides and advisers at an April reunion in Dallas.
The Bush family has chosen to remain on the sidelines of the GOP nominating contest after former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush left the race. Jeb Bush has said he won't vote for Trump, and neither George W. Bush nor his father, former President George H.W. Bush, are attending this week's convention.

(1,945 posts)I'd suggest that the mainstream notion of targeting political, religious, racial, and sexual identity minorities is a well worn trope in Republican politics.

Low income add the description you want.
God proscribed/prescribed way of living in a family
You name it, they have run a campaign full of it.
If they are finally nearing their nadir in this political system, I'd say: FINALLY!

If Trump was really a Nazi, the Bush family would support him as they did before and during WWl.

(99,915 posts)The GOP has fucked with our way of life for the last 40 years. How many innocent have died because of their lax policy on firearms and the gun-worshipping cult known as the NRA? How many LGBT people have experienced harassment because of their fear? How out of control are states' abortion laws and how many could have been saved? How many innocent have been locked away in our for profit prisons because of the war on drugs? This ends now!
