Bush worried he will be last GOP president
And now, Bush has implied Trump’s damage to the Republican Party could be permanent. Former Presidents were not there, over their protest against Trump’s insults to Jeb Bush.
Bush made the remark in April when the contest for the Republican nominee had narrowed between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, according to the report.
“I’m anxious that I will be the last Republican president”, Bush said at a reunion for his administration in Dallas, Politico Magazine reported Tuesday morning. But the Trump campaign isn’t upset about that.
In addition to the Bush family and former cabinet members, a number of high-profile Republicans are skipping the convention, including former Republican candidates Mitt Romney and John McCain.
While Trump has the support of many top GOP leaders, like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell, many have expressed concerns with his divisive style and his temperament, as well has his policy proposals – like building wall at the southern border with Mexico and a Muslim entry ban.
Melania Trump, who would become First Lady should her husband capture the White House, has been accused of plagiarising a speech about hard work from Michelle Obama. “Donald Trump won, we have got to embrace that”. “I don’t have confidence in that”. Another notable absentee was Ohio Governor John Kasich, whose absence in his own turf raised lots of eyebrows.
Messages of making America great and safe again echoed inside the Republican National Convention as speaker after speaker took the stage on Monday, but the fireworks began before the speakers did.
A pre-taped speech from Rubio will air during the week.
In May, once Trump had secured enough delegates for the nomination, a spokesman said that neither he nor the elder Bush planned to endorse Trump for the presidency.
