House: Could Trump Lead to Apocalypse for Republicans?

[BigSkyBob]

Nominating George Herbert Walker "Read my lips, no new taxes!" Bush left the party in shambles. Not shamed by his repudiation by the American people, he leveraged his past control over the GOP apparatus to juice his boys into the nominations for Governorships in Florida, and Texas respectively. In an election where Republicans were winning in places like New York, the elder Bush boy was one of the few GOP failures that year. Because the elder Bush brother lost, daddy put his political machine behind getting George Walker Bush the GOP nomination in 2000. The Bush boy proceeded to blow it, losing all three debates very badly. He was only saved by the fact that Al Gore sighed repeatedly at his ineptitude. As President, George Walker Bush pursued neo-conservative warmongering.  Like his father before him, he squandering sky-high approval ratings from an Iraqi war. He only squeaked by to reelection when Osama Bin Laden endorsed his opponent the last week of the election. As the American people soured on our boys coming home in body bags, George Walker Bush doubled down on stupid by trying to make the 2006 midterm a referendum on neo-conservatism. The election was a disaster. The economy nearly collapsed on his watch. Between the neoconservative warmongering, and the economic mismanagement, George Walker Bush paved the way to a second consecutive electoral disaster leaving the Democrats with Presidency, a large majority in the House, and a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. Like his father before him, George Walker Bush almost single-handedly destroyed the Republican party.

After two Bushes have led the Republican party to near extinction, some are suggesting that the Republican party nominate a third Bush. The old cliché about the definition of insanity comes to mind. I, for one, consider the Bush family a blight on the Republican party that ought to be ripped out by the roots.

Ironically, others are suggesting that the party face disaster if they nominate someone else. Reagan left the Republican party in better shape, and bucked the historical trend and was succeeded by a Republican. Yet, all we read is fearmongering about a new Reagan.
