George Sr., George Jr. or Jeb. We also haven't heard a peep from Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld, Rice, Powell.
I've heard no comments from any of them. Why are they not commenting on what's going on with Trump and the Repug Party.
Just seems strange to me. One would think that they would have something to say seeing that two of them served as presidents, one ran against Trump and the rest were in the WH or cabinet.

(13,421 posts)Daddy was a spook before he was a President, and Dubya's image has kind of been rehabbed a little bit by the tRump stuff. Pretty sure that either one of the Bushes has probably heard a fair amount of the not-for-public-distribution stuff from behind the scenes in the investigation and they have a good idea of how this all is going to play out. I'd guess they feel ZERO need to be in the center of the fray right now. Instead, I look for them all to step up to help lead the GOP back to stability once all the shit hits the fan.
In other words, they are the vultures circling the collapsing beast.
