It should come as no surprise that Bush-era Republicans are frustrated with the middle class “America First” crowd that supports President Trump and the MAGA movement. The cocktail party GOPe have always looked down their noses at the base of supporters; now they report -via Reuters- that they will abandon the Republican party.

(Reuters) – Dozens of Republicans in former President George W. Bush’s administration are leaving the party, dismayed by a failure of many elected Republicans to disown Donald Trump after his false claims of election fraud sparked a deadly storming of the U.S. Capitol last month.
These officials, some who served in the highest echelons of the Bush administration, said they had hoped that a Trump defeat would lead party leaders to move on from the former president and denounce his baseless claims that the November presidential election was stolen.
But with most Republican lawmakers sticking to Trump, these officials say they no longer recognize the party they served. Some have ended their membership, others are letting it lapse while a few are newly registered as independents, according to a dozen former Bush officials who spoke with Reuters. (read more)

Here is a man and his wife who bought a dilapidated ranch in New Mexico and made it a going concern until the U.S. Forestry Service under George W. Bush took everything they had and put the husband in jail. The Democrat-infested federal bureaucracy is behind the development of this travesty while Bush RINOs looked on in silence . Just look at what the Bush admin allowed to happen to Kit and Sherry Laney:

Actually, this political ilk were only serving themselves.
We don’t want to be associated with any of these clowns! Don’t let the door hit you in the a- -!
This is a ruse. The election was stolen. The GOPe and cowardly Republican legislators are fine with the theft. I’ve left the Republican party. Changed my registration to “No affiliation.” Unsubscribed/blocked their spam emails. Not another dime to them. Reason? The money interests controlling the GOP are not going to become Trumpers. I’m not going to waste my time “primarying” cowardly Republican candidates. The conservative-liberal base will continue doing what they’ve always done, keeping the likes of Felito Cruz, Bitch McConnell, and Lindsey Gayham in office.
Interesting comment Oldtradesman.
The media felt the need to write an article about only dozens of Bush administration people feeling the need to “abandon” Pres Trump by leaving the Republican party.
But the media does not write much about the hundreds if not thousands of us, We The People, who have left the Republican party out of our abandoning not Trump but the traitors who turned on Trump.
We are refusing to support a R party because they refuse to stand behind PT but we hear little about that.
It is very hard to find any kind of number as to exactly how many Rs have left when really it would not be that hard to do.
Go figure.
So, they are going to frame the exodus from the GOP as people leaving because of TRUMP??? LOL.
YES. That is EXACTLY what they are attempting.
Yes. Exactly. I’m out.
Frankly, I LOVE THE CLARITY ✝️
A minimum 100MILLION Americans of every color, ethnicity, religion, economic position and Party gave President Donald John Trump the BIGGEST election landslide in the history of America.
Proof … the RAT criminals … manipulating the vote totals … who factored in a 3+% “buffer” per the 2016 vote numbers + stuffing mail-in ballots … were positive of a guaranteed “win”.
Idiot Carville in Louisiana was cackling how he was gonna pop the champagne bottles at 8pm for Biden … instead … silence.
Why … because the biggest tsunami of voters EVER in the history of the country showed up to vote – in person – for President Donald John Trump.
So … silent Carville … and the demonRATS – in TOTAL PANIC … shut down the vote count … for 5 hours.
So the evil demonRATS could “flip” MILLIONS of Trump votes to Biden … and … “disappear” MILLIONS of votes from Trump’s successful re-election vote totals.
The demonRATS stole President Trumps successful re-election … and … the RINOS, GOP, RNC, Elites, Establishment, FBI, DOJ & Bush etc – did not care … DID NOTHING … and celebrated a Biden RAT steal.
Dear God … we continue to pray for your love, blessings and protection of President Trump and the United States of America. Amen.
So I agree with your sentiments, and I am honestly so tired of these scumbags that I would rather see war than go through this crap any longer. However, does that really do us any good? And does starting a new party do us any good? I am honestly asking, because everything I see tells me that these people need to be “prosecuted”, between the media, the dem govs, the DOJ lies, and the realization that ALL these MF’rs sold us out to communism for money from china.
Yote? What party does Dominion favor again? It will be US against a foreign machine.
The one that pays them the most….
The relationship between President Trump and the GOP is best understood if you consider Donald Trump is really a 3rd party candidate who won as a Republican. He was never a member of “their club” and they always resented him, even as he led them to victory and raked in mountains of campaign cash.
Now does their passive aggressiveness towards Trump reconicile?
Trump also won because of the reprehensible character and lack of integrity of his opponents, Clinton and Biden.
It makes zero sense for the Bushies to claim there was no election fraud when we’ve seen the presentations made by Sidney Powell. They are worried about something else surfacing, imo. Thanks to TCTH for shining a very bright light on the scrambling rats.
Off topic but Rush gave a shoutout to Sundance in today’s show opener.
Talk about an in-kind donation to the cause.
Actually it was a lot more than the opener. He went back and forth on the THEY ALL KNEW article many times throughout the 3 hour program today.
Made me smile to hear that when listening to his podcast from today! And loved that Rush gave a shout out to not only the Treehouse website but also to Sundance.
Good riddance.
It just occurred to me they might need some “traveling music.”
Great song, Yonason. It looks like the Democrats took the midnight train to Georgia on November 4, however and brought a pile of manure from the farm with them.
Well, Bye!
WATCH THAT DOOR! ! ! ! !
Sadly, I’ve a few friends who would vote for Cruz in a heartbeat.
All of them practicing Christians.
Ive tried explaining and pointing out the obvious to them.
I imagine there’s a lot more like them, out there in the electorate
“All of them practicing Christians.”
There are “consultants” who run seminars for politicians to instruct them on how to deceive evangelicals. How talk, fabricate a testimony, etc.
2 Corinthians 11:26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea,
in perils among false brethren;
Galatians 2:4 And that because of
false brethren unawares brought in,
who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
Only God knows the heart and we have a free will. So it is also possible for a true believer to be caught up in the sin of the this world and be a sellout for temporary gain.
I don’t know where Sen. Cruz is at, I have to answer for myself.
Romans 14:10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
2Cor 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
“The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.”–Groucho Marx
Groucho had to be talking about politicians.
Imagine my relief, now, that Trump didn’t nominate that skunk to SCOTUS! WHEW! (not that what we got has been any better than he’d have been, it seems)
How many votes do they have? All Bush Big Chiefs without any tribe to follow. They have no relevancy to us.
Bravado. And media pretending that the diminishment in Republican donations and registrations is not from the “Trump Cult” but from these anti-Trumpers.
(It’s at least in part cover for the fact that there was a big tanking of MAGA changing their registrations after 1/6/21 until Trump basically said wait, let’s first do a hostile takeover of the Republican Party.)
would it be a different way to say this, that it was a given there would be a third party, but instead of it being Trump+supporters, it is Bushies, and not that many of them, who are going third party?
I think they’ll probably just become Democrats.
Didn’t most/ALL? vote for Biden anyway?
They’re all a very good fit w/ the Democrats.
This is a very positive development
Bye-bye!!!! Why do they think we care if they leave!!! Do they think we’ll beg them to stay! Good riddance!
Their campaign donors. Their power brokers. Their handlers. Their fears of having their misdeeds, peccadillos, corruptions (personal or political) being outed… We need a system that forbids lobbying by any corporation or other organization that is owned in part or dependent in part on foreigners.
Thirty Democrats are voicing their opinion that D.C. should become a state. Watch these defecting bastards line up with the Democrats on this just to screw the Trump wing of the party once again.
I received my notice in the mail this past week-end that my affiliation with the Republican Party at my local Board of Elections has now officially changed to non-affiliated. Stick a fork in me, I’m done!
isn’t dc non-statehood a constitutional issue? https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-1/section-8/clause-17/ so they can’t just scoop up a coupla senators and it is done.
My pleasure to register Independent at our County Board of Elections on this very day. Too bad the line wasn’t miles long to do so.
I did that online here in CO.
To the Bush administration and ALL the intelligence agencies who
allowed 9-11 to occur while they looked for WMDs under the cabinets and carpet in the White House.
The thousands of Americans killed on 9-11 and who were killed in foreign lands because of their failures shows just how much this country and the constitution truly means to them. They hug and kiss Osama and the Clinton’s who have raped this country while stealing billions and selling our security and property to all communist and enemies of this country and trying to steal from AF1 and the White House and they have no problems killing Americans in many ways shows just what they ALL are.
Dozens of RINOs are leaving the GOP. MILLIONS of scorned and pissed off Americans joined, and more are on the way. The illusion of choice is being destroyed before our eyes. In fact, it may already be destroyed.
Those who invented very likely millions votes for Sleepy Joe, while erasing millions for Trump know the truth and I believe they are scared to death. The quisling propagandists known as the MSM and social media cannot hide that truth forever.
I predict that we will see wokeness and cancel culture turned on the left and its propagandists with a vengeance like no one has ever seen.
We MUST verify that the “compassionate conservatives” have left. Otherwise it is a ruse to get our money.
Media manipulation, still trying to spread disinformation and confusion just like the Nazis did in WW2. It’s the Journolist tactics that they started using in 2007-8 to protect their Master… It’s further proof that the battle goes beyond President Trump, it’s all out war to destroy Conservatives and make America into California… Idiots like the Bushies and McCains are always available to assist for the scraps of grift that get thrown their way…
Man these people are absolutely SHAMELESS. Why dont they just move on quietly and do what they need(want) to do without having to make an ANNOUNCEMENT. This is just too funny
Can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube. These may be the least in touch people of all.
“Bush Era Republicans Vow to Leave the Party While Electorate Support President Trump.”It just keeps getting better. Winning!
Unfortunately they are just like a boomerang, they keep coming back! How many times ha Collin Powell left?
Yes. I am still waiting for those who said they were moving out of the country to get the h311 out.
I will be happy to complete the change of voter registration for them. All they have to do is sign it. I will even pay the postage. Good riddance.
Sorry, boys; you left the party when joined the Uni-Party.
That sums it up well Gipper!
Finally. The snobs and Uniparty super freaks bailing. At least they won’t have to pretend anymore.
Fake news, put out to make us think that the Bushies will leave and the GOP can be reformed and turned into a MAGA party. It cannot.
There’s no future for America that involves the Republican Party. They won’t fight, they won’t resist. Remember how many months it took Trump to get his cabinet confirmed? Biden’s nominees are being confirmed in an average time of three days (as opposed to three months for Trump). They’ve leaned on Cruz to recant on election fraud. The DESPERATELY want to return to business as usual before Trump, and they will, and there’s nothing we can do to stop them except to elect officials from a Different Political Party.
except you can’t win elections without a biggish tent. Also, it is a good discipline to keep explaining oneself. That is how change happens. The effort goes somewhere in the end.
That’s the beauty of a MAGA party: it can be a bigger tent than the Republicans can ever be. The GOP is doomed demographically because it is too white. Trump’s principles have huge appeal among blacks and Hispanics. Trump is actually for the working class, whereas the Republican brand is ruined with a lot of those people.
Win what elections?
Woo. A bunch of octogenarians who served in the Bush White House 12 years ago don’t want to hang around anymore. No loss.
My sentiment exactly
Good riddance. We Trump supporters out here in flyover country were planning to boot all of you establishment fakes from the party anyway (either that or create a new party without you in it), so this just makes things easier.
Without us, the voters, your party, or any political party, is nothing. Did you really think that now that Trump has ripped off the mask and revealed to everyone the ugly truth about what the establishment GOP is all about, that with Trump out of the way, we’d just come flocking back to vote for more phony Republicans who make nice speeches about conservative values, but then who stab us in the back the first (and every other) chance they get?
It could not be more evident that establishment Republicans like you exist only to give the illusion of voters having a choice, and that your role in the play is to forever be the ineffective minority party that wins occasionally but does nothing to advance the ideas it claims to support, but mainly loses gracefully and lets the opposition have its way. It’s not that we, the voters, have changed… we’ve always supported conservative values, during my lifetime at least. We’ve always wanted our elected officials to make policy and law that reflects those values, the values you claim to support. It’s just that now every one of us knows that none of you actually intend to do any of the things you claim you would like to do.
If you don’t recognize the party anymore, that’s fantastic. The one you recognize is finished, and so is your cozy role as the controlled opposition that gets full membership in the establishment club by virtue of your service to the globalist elite. If you’re not hated and reviled by the establishment, you’re not doing your job, so we’ll have to replace you with someone who will.
Promises promises.
I’m staying in the party for a few reasons. It’s much easier to overthrow from within than it is to assault from without. Name me the last independent that caucused with the republicans. But I can name a party leader, nonetheless, that was overthrown from within. Eric Cantor. And the guy that beat him was an unknown with no backing and little money. Cantor got out hustled.
Plus, Trump wants us to stay in the party. Because he knows it’s a lot easier to take over an existing power structure and party than it is to build one up from scratch. Now the question being, what’s our part. Be the foot soldiers. Find MAGA candidates to primary rinos. Run candidates in EVERY single congressional district. If you can’t find a candidate, be the candidate.
When it comes the Senate. Same thing. Governorship? Same old same old. Out work, outhustle, outraise, and out politic every single opponent. Whether that be a Democrat or a RINO. Fight for every inch. Fight as if your country’s future depends on it. Because it does.
Are we going to win every single time? Of course not. But just ask a Bolshevik if you need the majority for a successful overthrow. If you’re willing to research and find the best picks for your fantasy football league, but not willing to do the same for your country…then get the hell out of our way. And take your can’t do attitude with you.
Well spoken. It’s worth at least one or two good fistfights. I’m staying Repub at least long enough to: 1) Fight for a clean, secure election process in our own state 2) Vote against our incumbent Decepticons in their next primaries and 3) Keep eyes & ears open for Trump/agenda ascending within the party. If none of these succeeds, then I’ll bail out and not look back.
Senile Joe was led by his keepers to approve a war-mongering move into Syria, so these blood-money Bushies will get enriched by their neo-con comrades.
And their uniparty policy of Invade The World (endless war) – Invite The World (mass illegal immigration) – In Hoc To The World (endless debt) will continue to tear down Historic America.
Exactly what the Uniparty wants.
more RINO’s by name
“The Republican Party as I knew it no longer exists. I’d call it the cult of Trump,”
Jimmy Gurulé, Undersecretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence in the Bush administration.
“The number is growing every day” (roughly 60 to 70 former Bush officials have decided to leave the party or are cutting ties with it)
“We have QAnon members of Congress. It’s appalling,”
Kristopher Purcell, who worked in the Bush White House’s communications office for six years,
“We’re having a little bit of a spat right now. But we are going to come together. We have to,”
Ronna McDaniel
“If it continues to be the party of Trump, many of us are not going back,”
“Unless the Senate convicts him, and rids themselves of the Trump cancer, many of us will not be going back to vote for Republican leaders.”
Rosario Marin, a former Treasurer of the U.S. under Bush
“I totally understand why people are frustrated and want to leave the party. I’ve had that feeling for 4 years,” (she voted for Biden in November)
Suzy DeFrancis, a veteran of the Republican Party
Let them walk away. They don’t care about us and we certainly have put up with enough of their theatrics. Take the Lincoln Republicans please, with you!
I’m an independent who Will NOT vote for a Republican. We either start a new party or I’m done. Republicans didn’t fight for me in the past and I can’t be on a team of losers. I won’t even be associated. Voting for a Republican now would be simply enabling the bad behavior. The lesser of two evils is Evil.
Their mamas might care. We just don’t give a dang.
Leaving the Party? A promise or a threat? Please, God, let it be the former.
p.s. “Defection from the Republican Party after a lifetime of service for many …?!” My aunt fanny! More like a lifetime of self-serving pigs at the trough. (Apologies to pigs. I respect our bad-ass, patriotic Farmers and I value farm animals)
Let ‘em run away…form the square jaw brigade or some BS. In the meantime read chapter 3 from Byrne’s website. Details the meeting he, Sidney and General Mike had with the President and his staff. If completely true, amazing how close they came to taking the right course, just to be pushed off the mountainside by the swamp…

I’m glad some treepers keep posting this. Everyone should read it.
And what will be the difference, lol???!!!!! Go, PLEASE!
Those people are essentially the war party. Trump would not enter a war unless there was a just reason. So they hate him. Biden is already pivoting towards meaningless war.
At a time when the Democrats have openly attacked the nation and the family with forced gender dysphoria, turned elections into cheat fests, turned Washington into an armed camp, attacked workers and jobs and free speech and free assembly………..
what sort of evil fool could be thinking Trump is the problem. The enemy is the DNC , the elite and Big Tech elephant and their Chinese pals.
There is no real party to leave anymore, it’s been blown up, they just don’t know it yet….. 🙂
GOOD RIDDANCE!!!
The Bushies are worthless zeros!!!
Go ahead.
Make My Day.
Finally Make It Official.
What happens if Trump writes a few books!
Don’t let the door hit your ass. Good riddance! I guess they are not part of the 95% of Repubs who support the President.
Bye F-in Bye…
Wish I could out a load of rock salt in your butt on the way out the door…
Rick
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out!
Please do leave the party! Go join the Democrat/Communist party, where I’m sure you’ll be a lot more comfortable, among friends. George Bush, let’s talk about your buddy, Bandar Bush. Otherwise known as Bandar Bin Sultan, head spy for the Saudi government. You were best buddies and he followed you around like a puppy dog, hanging on your every word. Only he wasn’t a puppy dog, he was a spy and he was reporting every word you said back to his handlers. Who then learned directly from you about how best to take the World Trade Center down and get away with it. On the last plane out of America sat Bandar Bin Sultan, your buddy, who you refused to have questioned in any way before his rushed departure. Only Bandar was the architect of 9/11, and he was laughing at your childlike openness with state secrets and likely saying to himself, how on earth does a country with such a stupid leader still stand? He sat on that plane amongst the many Bin Laden children (yes, that Bin Laden), who Bush had secretly accepted onto American soil and sent to prestigious universities. Go George Bush, FU. I knew that after your botched presidency we would be getting someone just like the Muslim Brotherhood psychopath Obama. This is your fault. Leave the party, and hey, maybe go live in Saudi Arabia. They have lots of air conditioned tents there.
