Who are the Old Guard GOP these days?

Many years ago, in my more naive days, I might have thought that most of our “elder statesmen” would be condemning the sort of behavior we’ve seen from the FBI and DOJ under Obama and Biden. I no longer expect such things.

But the comment made me wonder, who are these “Old Guard” of GOP leaders – apart from the Bush/Cheney crowd who hate Trump, because (among other things) he was quite vicious to them over Iraq? I recall Trump saying Bush should have been impeached and that he was evil. In fact, I wrote an article about it – you can find the article here. So one thing that is not a mystery is why the Bushes and Cheneys hate Trump. And many people who support or are allied with Bush/Cheney hate Trump for their own reasons, or on Bush/Cheney’s behalf.

Other Old Guard Republicans? It’s interesting to contemplate that, until Trump’s election, the most recent non-Bush Republican president was Richard Nixon.
