    Default Bush describes GOP as 'isolationist, protectionist and nativist

    Asked on Tuesday how he would describe the Republican Party as he sees it today, Bush told NBC's Hoda Kotb on the "Today" show, "I would describe it as isolationist, protectionist and, to a certain extent, nativist."


    Asked if a Republican who speaks warmly about immigration, favors gun control and supports a strong government presence in education would have a chance for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, Bush replied, "I think so."

    W is a decent man, but he has no understanding of the country's political situation, and has zero credibility, with *anyone*, on immigration.

    Hoda asked if a Republican who supports a strong gov't presence in education can win? No Child Left Behind was a strong gov't presence in education. How many liberals support it? Or does Hoda mean a strong gov't prencense in education refers to kowtowing to the teachers union and not opening up schools despite the data saying its ok?
