"We have seen our discourse degraded by casual cruelty. At times, it can seem like the forces pulling us apart are stronger than the forces binding us together. Argument turns too easily into animosity. Disagreement escalates into dehumanization. Too often, we judge other groups by their worst examples while judging ourselves by our best intentions – forgetting the image of God we should see in each other."
"We’ve seen nationalism distorted into nativism – forgotten the dynamism that immigration has always brought to America. We see a fading confidence in the value of free markets and international trade – forgetting that conflict, instability, and poverty follow in the wake of protectionism."
"We have seen the return of isolationist sentiments – forgetting that American security is directly threatened by the chaos and despair of distant places, where threats such as terrorism, infectious disease, criminal gangs and drug trafficking tend to emerge."

I'm not surprised that BV$H is going after Trumpf.
Must be some kind of big money push from billionaire donors to raise up the House of Bush and their allies.
They want Trumpf out. I think they're already allying themselves with the Pence wing of the party. Maybe Jeb wants a cabinet job like Sect. of State.
I'm sure the Bushes want Trump out. My initial thought is that the Bushes don't realize that their time is gone. The GOP has gotten much more radical and it's moved so far to the right that they no longer even speak the same language. They have their own language, truths, facts, it's all there. I'm not sure how any of this shakes out in the post truth era.
