G. W. Bush and the Republican Party

Yesterday something popped up on my news feed about George W. Bush re-taking the head position as leader of the Republican Party once President Trump is out of office? I don’t know if this is click bait or something else but let me weigh in on this subject.

After 9/11/2001 I wrote a letter to the editor of my local newspaper about President Bush being chosen by God for such a time as this. His initiating the War on Terror and going after Osama Bin Laden and Weapons of Mass Destruction were what I felt for the right reason.

During that time and since I have been disappointed at the Republican Party in particular the way they resisted and/or failed to assist President Trump after he became president in 2017. I was at that time a disgruntled republican voter looking for association with a new and reputable political party.

I even considered becoming an Independent voter.  

But as the MAGA movement under President Trump gained traction I was among the early voters who jumped on board the Trump Train, fully embracing MAGA as the GOP began aligning with and under the leadership of Donald J. Trump.

After President George H. W. Bush died it sickened me that prominent congressional democrats made it perfectly clear that the sitting president was persona non grata to attend his funeral, but Vice President Mike Pence was “okay” to attend in his stead. What really bothered me was that George W. Bush did nothing to stand up against this democratic nonsense.

A former republican president has died, lies in state in Texas and in Washington D.C. and buried in Texas and the sitting president is not “allowed” to attend? Ludicrous!

After eight years of nonstop political nonsense we have another funeral, this time for former vice president Dick Chaney and I saw no evidence that President Trump was invited to attend by the Chaney family or that he even had the desire to attend after the interaction of former congresswoman Liz Chaney towards President Trump.

George W. Bush stated that Dick Chaney was the perfect vice president for him during his time in office.

I agree.

What I don’t agree is that G.W. Bush is the right person to take over the Republican Party which has largely become President Trump’s MAGA party and for him to attempt to do so would in my opinion would revert back to its former ineffectiveness as a viable political party.

What I know is that Donald Trump’s mandate is two-fold: Fight the spirit of Political Correctness and Stop Evil. How he accomplishes those two goals is a Trump thing. I’ve long said that the federal government is too big, too wasteful in spending and totally needing a “do over” and I’m glad to see President Trump is doing what needs to be done to downsize and re-focus the entirety of the federal government. That is exactly what I voted for!

I’m not interested in worrying about what might happen once Trump’s term if finished, but I’m sure that God has everything under control. That’s good enough for me. – RTM

One thought on “G. W. Bush and the Republican Party

  1. I was a Bush fan and voted for him and his father. After he aligned himself with the Clintons, I wrote him off. He lives in Dallas, but keeps a low profile because the folks here don’t like him. Trump is brash, but brilliant, and will get this country on the right track; that’s all I need to know. The King is in control, and I pray hard every Sunday in church that he touches every evil politician in DC.
