Reports Say Bush Family Has Pipe Dream Plot To Retake GOP

It has been about 20 years since a member of the Bush family was politically relevant. We are long removed from the days of President George W. Bush and his father, George H.W. Bush. Since then, the family has tried throwing people like Jeb Bush into the ring, only to have him watch his political dreams collapse like a dying star in the whole "please clap" incident. Even George P. Bush, who was Texas Land Commissioner, saw his political relevance fall by the wayside.

But that is not stopping the Bush family from trying to assert themselves into the new world of politics. A report says the Bush family is plotting a comeback to retake the Republican party. However, considering the shift of the GOP, and the current state of American politics, all of it boils down to a pipe dream that will not come to fruition.

Political strategist Vlad Davidiuk says the days of the "Bush dynasty," are long gone, and they do not have much political standing anymore.

"In the last ten years...no one has been knocking down the door demanding a member of the Bush family be installed in office," he says.

The family has essentially been on an island politically since George W. Bush left the White House in 2008. Minus the news of George H.W. Bush and First Lady Brabara Bush's deaths, there has been no real Bush news in the cycle. People have just largely forgotten about them.

But there is another problem. The family is the old guard, establishment Republican ideology. Those days are also gone with the surge of President Trump's ideologies, and people have hitched their wagon to that.

"Republican voters are much more strongly aligned with an 'America First' agenda...which President Trump and Congress represent to ably, and capably," says Davidiuk.

The old Bush identity of growing opportunity through trade and multilateral deals is gone. Americans are fed up with America caring about everyone else except us and is a huge reason why Trump won the 2024 election.

The old guard GOP is pretty much dead, and everyone is hitching their cars to the Trump train.

"You are certainly seeing it with Republican candidates running for office right now...they are actively tying themselves to President Trump's agenda," Davidiuk says.

In the end, it is a pipe dream for the Bush family to believe they can regain control of the GOP. Their days have passed, and the new guard has taken over. Unless some new Bush family member surges forward, with new ideologies, we might not see another Bush be politically relevant for the rest of our lifetimes.
