'won't win anything' if they stand for

Former President George W. Bush suggested the Republican Party needed to reach out to a more diverse coalition of voters if it wanted to come back into power. 'If you Republican Party stands for exclusivity—you know, it used to be country clubs, now evidently it's white Anglo-Saxon Protestantism—then it's not going to win anything,' Bush said in an interview with The Dispatch podcast last week.(Snip) 'My whole point on all this immigration debate and stuff is, I think if we valued life as precious and every life matters, that we’re all God’s children, that all of a sudden the tone

Logic was never GW's strong suit. Neither was the courage and foresight to stand up to baseless charges by our domestic enemies. It's an outright lie that Anglo-Saxon Protestantism isn't inclusive and welcoming to all races. GW is a village idiot and coward for not recognizing and vigorously defending that truth.

I'm half in agreement. Conservatives have a lousy way of "selling" their viewpoint. And it is too "white." We all have our own motivations, our own values that may intersect. Too many look for orthodoxy, quick to label those who may disagree "not real conservative". Want to "argue" with a Muslim or Hindu, both key constituents in my county, don't start up with Bible quotes. In my Texas county, which is minority-majority with a very heavy (legal) immigrant population, the hat and six-shooter approach doesn't sell well. Some folks can't see that...and wonder why the county is quickly becoming blue after decades of Republican administration.

W, you staying up too late at night or something? Just now catching on that you are public enemy No. 1 and 1/2? Yeah, W, tell Jebbie everything will be all right despite Trump mopping the floor with him. Have you wondered how different things would be if your daddy HW hadn't sold out America in 1992 with the tax increase thing? W, you starting to wonder what kind of presidency you would have had less 9/11? Was 9/11 orchestrated by the US Government, W? Ok. So maybe the white guy schtick is the fly in the ointment now? But, I thought the Eye of the Illuminati was always on you? So many questions.

It was Trump who doubled the Republicans share of the Black vote and earned the support of much higher percentage of minority voters than Bushies ever did or ever will.

#10, it isn’t America’s job to cater to newcomers from disparate cultures. The Anglo-Saxon customs of English common law, private property and enjoying the fruits of one’s own labor are attractive to immigrants of good will and citizens should insist on appreciation of those things on the part of immigrants.
The Protestant habits of hard work, honesty, selflessness, thrift, self-determination, respect for all others and reverence towards a Supreme Being make strong communities filled with people who are generous with time, money and friendship.
George Bush is another child of privilege who never appreciated America for its goodness.

W is "old news" trying to remain relevant by jumping onto the "white guilt" bandwagon. Under the constitution, "all men are created equal."
NO guarantees, but do what you do well and you will succeed in America regardless of color. That's why Nigerian immigrants succeed here while American blacks always seem to struggle and cry victim-hood.
Wait for the free-stuff handouts from those who perpetually promise heaven-on-earth, in exchange for your vote, and you'll get what you deserve.

Wow. This is pretty stupid. Candace Owens is a WASP? The new wave of black and Hispanic support is coming from the country club? How thick is W? By his logic and the poster who wants to stand on the soapbox with him and attempt to lecture everyone, I say this. By your reasoning you HAVE to support Donald J Trump, today. Right now, send him money and speak out FOR him. You can NOT deny that President Trump got more support from more people of ALL backgrounds THAN ANY OTHER REPUBLICAN, ever. RECORD employment for minorities, record income, support that is funded for years for black colleges, record turn out and support by Hispanic communities. School choice, opportunity zones and much more.
To whine and pontificate about Donald Trump's Presidency as a doomed bastion of WASPs, from the leader of that insider gang of globalist trash is not funny, it is infuriating. You punk. You suddenly loud mouth loser. You privileged coward. Now you stand up? Of course you do you globalist apologist for Saudi Arabia and every other sewer with money. If you knew honor or shame you would shut your mouth. I mean really, how stupid can someone be to spew the media lie, when the recent record is crystal clear and filled with facts and accomplishments so big, so historical that even the evil media had to report it. Denying that and lecturing on some podcast or coming here and spewing the same nonsense, is a sign of some deep misunderstanding of the reality of the entire Trump Presidency. Or they just lie as often as they can to try and smear the record for the smooth brains.

What's wrong with White Anglo-Saxon Protestantism? Nearly everything we have in modern civilization was invented by White Ango-Saxon Protestants. Talk about "cultural appropriation." Everyone, whites, blacks, hispanics, asians all dress in modern clothes, watch TV, use cell phones, drive cars and everything else invented by us. We outlawed slavery, freed the slaves, built a nation where we at least try to have liberty and justice for all.

The Bushes are a lost cause. Bush ‘43 at least had credentials, but didn’t understand politics, a third tier rural politician and a chicken rancher derailed his 2nd term. W abandoned the party and has gone over to the dark side. Jeb was a waste of time, even with a bankroll couldn’t differentiate himself from a nobody. A sad tale of a WASP family squandering their privilege. The moral of the story is if you want to like the Bushes, you’ll never get elected again. That’s why we all voted for TRUMP.

It's totally lost on this idiot that Trump attracted more non-white voters to the GOP than the entire white-privileged Bush family put together. It's sad to realize that he is as dumb as his enemies (now "friends") claimed that he was during his administration.
He'll be doing photo-ops with AOC, Omar and the rest of the Squad any day now.

The ONLY good thing I can say about this jerk is that in 2000 he gave us an alternative to a greater evil—Al Gore, and did the same in 2004 with John Effing Kerry. Seeing the damage to the country that Obama inflicted, and Biden has ramped up, it is clear that we dodged catastrophes in 2000 and 2004 and that even though Bush was a worthless, useless President, he didn’t intentionally destroy the USA, as Biden is surely doing.

Here is an observation regarding Democrats and Republicans...
Many Republicans look back on the Bushes, Romney, and McCain and realize they were mistakes.
When Democrats look back on Obama, the Clintons, Gore, Kerry, and Carter, they still hold them in high regard.
Republicans acknowledge their mistakes. Democrats do not.
As for George W Bush, he doesn't get it, and never will. The Republican party is absolutely required to provide an alternative to the Democrats. When they don't they are worthless. Those that don't vote democrat do so primarily because they disagree with their policies. When the republicans provide real policy alternatives, those people will vote republican. When the Republicans fail to offer an alternative, those people either sit out or vote Democrats since there is no difference.
Bush needs to wise up, but he never will. He really is a Democrat, but being from Texas he ran as a Republican so he would win.

What possible good could come from demonizing the people who founded this nation? And how many Americans of every kind were killed or maimed in Dubya's Big Middle East Adventure? How many inconvenient babies murdered by Planned Parenthood, which the Bushes secretly supported all along? "Miss me yet?" Not at all.
