Cleveland – Trump’s Campaign Chief: Bushes Are ‘part Of The Past’ Of GOP

Cleveland – Donald Trump’s campaign chief says the Bush family “is part of the past” and that they don’t reflect the current Republican Party.

The answer came in response to a question about former Presidents George H.W. Bush and President George W. Bush decisions not to attend this week’s Republican National Convention.

Campaign chairman Paul Manafort told reporters on Monday that the campaign’s primary goal at the national convention this week was to unify the Republican Party, but he had harsh words for the members of Republican political royalty.

Manafort said, “Certainly the Bush family, we would have liked to have had them. They’re part of the past. We’re dealing with the future.”

Manafort described nominating conventions as “a healing time,” adding that by the end of the week, “by and large, it’s going to be a united Republican Party.”
