Yep, heard one of the radio spots he cut for Jeb.
It is bewildering.
At a get-together last month, Clay Johnson, a lifelong friend, recalled that he and Bush said to each other, “Can you believe what’s going on?”
“He, like everybody else in America, is taken aback,” Johnson said. He and Bush chewed over the race for 30 minutes, including the rise of Bernie Sanders on the Democratic side.
I wrote in an email to one of my brothers, Republican, "I don't recognize this country."
...
In the seven years since Bush left the White House, the party has evolved so much it is almost unrecognizable from the one he commanded in the early 2000s. The GOP is being torn apart by a battle between the business establishment, movement conservatives and pitchfork populists.
Bush has been troubled by a Republican electorate that — so far, at least — prioritizes Trump’s anger and projected strength...
That's the way to put it, it's Republican people, not just Trump, and Democratic people, not just Sanders that is troubling.
...
George W. Bush is still very popular in South Carolina:
“The question is, is popularity transferable?” [Former GOP state chairman Katon] Dawson said. “I don’t think it’s transferable if he just says, ‘Jeb’s a good guy and trust him.’ I think it is transferable if George W. Bush comes here, takes the gloves off and starts getting at it against Trump.”
Interesting!
The 43rd president, however, is unlikely to attack any candidate.
Ugh. Wants to talk positively about Jeb.
