The authority on this subject, I think, is Bush himself. He’s not personally enthusiastic about Trump, but he exerts his political energy on raising funds for pro-Trump lawmakers and whipping votes for his controversial nominee. Ideological allies with a personal conflict. — PolitiTweet.org

This is widely held but I think mistaken. Common core is regressive tax cuts + corrupt, business friendly regulators. That’s hideously unpopular so it’s propped up with demagogic bigotry (anti-gay for Bush, anti-immigrant for Trump) and a lot of hazy nationalism. — PolitiTweet.org

Is there a president who has changed a party faster and more completely than Donald Trump in both ideological and cultural terms?

Precisely because of the very real and well-documented personal animosity, if Bush had a serious problem with Trump’s policy trajectory he’d have no reason to shy away from criticism. Instead, Bush seems to (correctly) perceive the differences as small. — PolitiTweet.org
