I'm not quiet sure how I feel about this. I'm no fan of Bush, but if that's what it takes to get Trump, then the enemy of my enemy is my friend (for now. Once we win, of course, it will be another matter). People who slunk away from the Republican party after Trump won are coming out of the woodwork at an auspicious time.
Bush administration alums form pro-Biden super PAC
Rod Dreher in the American Conservative excoriates Trump much better than I can. I might have less in common with him than other conservatives but he wields a world-class rapier wit. To wit, the country does not need General Patton. The country needs Abraham Lincoln but that's a sidetrack from the point of this thread.
The Day Trump Lost The Presidency
This is the act of a weak man who is left with nothing but to stand in front of a church flashing a Bible like a gang sign to get conservative Christians in line. It is pathetic. Today I see that he is going to visit a DC shrine to St. John Paul II — a purely political stunt. As a believing Christian, Trump’s cynicism disgusts me viscerally.

There will be some Pavlov pooches out there in the MAGAsphere who will respond to this, but Tucker Carlson reads the situation correctly: people will not forgive him for his mishandling of this crisis. To be fair to Trump, it is hard to know what specific things he, Donald Trump, could do to make things better. He has labored so tirelessly to create ill will and to damage people’s confidence in him. Of course he has enemies who don’t play fair.
...
There is nothing to him. Pasteboard and tinsel. A sham. Nobody fears him, and nobody respects him. The country needs General Patton, but we’ve got Captain Kangaroo.
Embedded in Rod's piece is a Tucker Carlson video he referred to.
