I'm assuming this George Bush video has already been posted here today.

Link to tweet

Funny that it sounds like he's talking through a funnel.

Been anxiously waiting for the Bush family to step up. This is a small step.

13. If Chump could speak like that

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

2. That's one of the better messages I've seen.

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

The pacing was good, as was the music.

Compared to Trump he sounds like Lincoln.

4. Does the fact that W. is speaking out signify anything that might give us hope?

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?

9. Thank you, cilla4progress, for posting this.

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.

20. It's a good video

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.

Unless he was screaming "let me out" from behind bars. Then, I would listen with glee.

but he came out in favor of unity.

So, yeah, anti-drumpf.

23. I can't stand the SOB.

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.
