You see, George, the problem I have with your comments is that I read them all as coded language for "open borders" and "globalism run amok." And your comment about Trump lacking humility, I read as simple butt-hurt and defense of doing nothing. For too long you and the RINO globalist Republicans promised and promised you would take care of our concerns - AND YOU DID NOTHING. Obama wasn't the only reason for the Tea Party uprising in 2010, and Hillary wasn't the only reason for Trump's victory in 2016. We are TIRED of being lied to! We no longer trust the Bush-era Republicans. We want secure borders, we want the integrity of our votes protected, we want the constitutional republic preserved. Some things you did good as President, other things, I feel, ultimately fed into the globalist machine that is part of BOTH parties. There's a reason no one wanted Jeb and a reason people are so enthusiastic about Trump. You missed that. And as far as having compassion on immigrants and border control - proper, appropriate control of our border IS compassionate if done right.
Good grief, dude. Bush era Republicanism is gone and let's hope it stays that way.
Bush, who is promoting his new book called “Out of Many, One: Portraits of America’s Immigrants,” said he would describe the party as ” isolationist, protectionist, and to a certain extent, nativist.”
“I would describe it as isolationist, protectionist, and to a certain extent, nativist,” Bush told Kotb.
Kotb asked, “Are you disappointed?”
“Well, that’s not exactly my vision, but you know what, I’m just an old guy they put out to pasture,” he replied. “So, just a simple painter.”
Bush expressed hope that a more moderate Republican — someone pro-“border enforcement with a compassionate touch,” pro-“reasonable gun control,” pro-education funding for public schools could “have a shot” in the party’s 2024 presidential primary.
“I think if the emphasis is integrity and decency and trying to work to get problems solved, I think the person has a shot,” he stated.
Earlier this week, Bush said he felt former President Donald Trump, who he never endorsed, lacked the “humility” necessary to be an effective leader.
