Political commentator Pat Buchanan says the rise of Donald Trump shows how people are rejecting “Bush Republicanism.”
“In the GOP nomination race, the chickens of a quarter century of Bush Republicanism have come home to roost,” Buchanan told the Breitbart website.
“Trump’s triumphs to date are due to his recognition of, and identification with, the Middle American revolt against Bush family ideology and policy, and what it has produced.”
Part of the so-called “Bush Republicanism” is a soft immigration policy that gives amnesty to millions, Buchanan said.
“America’s establishment has failed America,” Buchanan said. “The single clearest message in the presidential campaign of 2015-2016 is that the American people would like to cleanse our capital city of its ruling class.”
Buchanan is a former speechwriter and White House adviser to presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan.
