Former President George Bush, 91 and frail, is straining to understand an election season that has, for his son and the Republican Party, lurched sharply and stunningly off script. And he is often bewildered by what he sees.
“I’m getting old,” he tells friends, appraising today’s politics, “at just the right time.”
These are confounding days for the Bush family and the network of advisers, donors and supporters who have helped sustain a political dynasty that began with the Senate victory by Prescott Bush, the older Mr. Bush’s father, in Connecticut 63 years ago. They have watched the rise of Donald J. Trump with alarm, and seen how Jeb Bush, the onetime Florida governor, has languished despite early advantages of political pedigree and campaign money.
you, your family.
Even the staunchest of Repubs have likely FINALLY caught on that the Bush name and family are full of it and crooked as three dollar bill.
Ive personally heard rural people down here in Texas(that u would assume are Bush ppl) refer to them as snakes in the grass.
It's over for your family. America would rather vote a clown like Donald Trump than another Bush man.
Unnecessary wars, spilling the blood/lives of thousands of young ppl, horrible financial policies & foreign policies/relationships, being a bully to the world, and just a general sense of stupidity.
Yeah, you're getting old at the RIGHT time b/c the jig is up.
