we wouldn’t be in this mess because he never would have got the GOP nomination. The Republicans got the racist asshole they wanted.

Reminds me of the commercials Steve Jobs used to sign off on.

The pacing was good, as was the music.

Is it like a crack that might deepen in the Republican party? A harbinger of perhaps power behind the scenes finally standing up?

The Bushes despise Trump but they have to protect the viability of George P. as long as its Trump's party. Bush Pere voted for Hillary.

How about our Dem presidential families?

I’m anxiously waiting for them to step up.

Good for Shrub; I give him credit, but where are our presidents?

Thank you, George Bush, for putting this out.

At this time, messages such as this bring comfort that we are truly ALL in this together.

I was not a fan of W, but think a moment about this message. He didn't have to do this, but he did. And I am grateful that he thought enough about the need of everyone suffering and struggling, to remember compassion IS strength.

I have to wonder if Bush regrets any of his time as president and particularly the choice of Cheney.

On the other hand, I'm sure he's happy with Alito.

But I see nothing to criticize in that video. It will piss off the trumpers.

Unity with all Americans is not a thing with them. Just white Americans. That’s all they care about.
