Bushes Polarize Like Progressives

caption id=attachment_16458 align=alignleft width=360 Bush loyalty resides with the political class not the voters/caption Given the unanticipated election of Donald Trump its difficult to determine which establishment faction is more perturbed liberals or old guard Republicans. Despite clear and unambiguous Clintonian corruption neither side" seems capable of respecting the democratic process when one of their own is not in the winners circle. Thus to them the peoples willand by extension the fate of the nation be damned! The childish cattiness that has resulted is expected of Democrats. Theyre myopically focused on reelection but little else. What political party wouldnt be furious over losing over 1000 officeholders during the Obama eraincluding stingingly the presidency? Yet whats unseemly is for GOP stalwarts to publicly chastise their partys current standard bearer. For example George W. Bush said This guy Trump doesnt know what it means to be president." Hows that not calling the kettle black? What happened to the generations-long tradition of remaining silent regarding ones presidential successors? Likewise what of Ronald Reagans Eleventh Commandment never to speak ill of another Republican? So much for honoring the rules" of political discourse. In truth if Mr. Bush was going to go there" hes waited eight years too longand picked the wrong target. Recall as a go-to excuse for Barack Obamas own multitude of failures he conveniently blamed Bush". Specifically Mr. Obama called his predecessors deficit spending unpatriotic" and irresponsible". For that demonization the younger Bush has reason to be incensed. Not at Trump but at the Democrats hypocrisy for running through almost twice as much as he: 4.9 versus 9.3 trillion. If thats not egregious enough what of Mr. Obamas cash payment of 1.7 billion to the pro-terrorist Iranian regime? Why was W" as silent as a church mouse when actual presidential mismanagementand malfeasancetranspired? (Is his anti-Trump fervor sour grapes for thwarting his brother Jebs presidential prospects?) As was widely reported shockingly 41 voted for Hillary Clinton and 43 voted for none of the above." How out of sync can two former Republican presidents be? In a recent speech W" obtusely said At times it can seem like the forces pulling us apart are stronger than the forces binding us together." With their polarizing rhetoric on full display isnt the Bush clan doing precisely that? Furthermore doesnt their brand of divisiveness have the same negative impact as that of any progressive? Naturally the Bushes are free to squawk and uselessly wring their hands. So too is the rest of the unsettled GOP establishment. However piling on is a fools errand that only makes matters worse. After all thanks to the hard left MSM untruths and distortions about Trump already run rampant. And unlike either Bush at least President Trump has the courage to fight back against these false narratives rather than dignifyingly" taking them. (Defeated Mitt Romney epitomized that failed philosophy.) That both former presidents surnamed Bush would now speak out against a sitting president shows disdain for established decorum and the voice of the electorate. With the nation coming apart at the seams during the disastrous Obama years they collectively made not a peep. Apparently for these beltway blue bloods unjustly trashing Trump is a favorite pastime. That the Bushes partake shows their loyalties truly lie with the insulated political class (regardless of party affiliation) rather than with the voters. Moreover as their sentiments are indistinguishable from that of Democrats party labels are rendered meaningless. Herein to any clear-thinking person is proof of the necessity of electing Donald Trump. The political pendulum has indeed swung far away from dynastic familiesand in 2016 an entitled insider. That maddening realityas much as the brash billionaire himselfis deliciously driving the D.C. ruling elite daffy.
