look, george w. bush knows very well if he ran for president in this republican party, he would never get elected. he knows he probably couldn't get elected statewide in texas. this is somebody who overturned the most popular gubernatorial candidate in state's history when he won. the party has shifted. the base has shifted. the issues have changed, and the party doesn't reflect the values that it has always reflected, from neither his father's party or his party. >> border state governor who won over 40% of the hispanic vote, as someone who believed that the party needed to reach out -- talking about extinction. what are the basic laws of biology? adapt, migrate or die. that is not a culture of personality that is demanding loyalty rooted in very little but resentment. of course, he's right. if it becomes a modern no-nothing party, then it doesn't have a future demographically and it doesn't deserve to. >> george w. bush served two terms, donald trump served one. he knows something. john avlon, margaret

george h.w. bush was not a kingmaker. his son was later elected president. people did not go to kiss the ring. what is extraordinary about this, the republican party had a chance to take an offramp after the election. we supported the president when it came to policy, let's move on. he does not have any more judges to appoint. he does not have any more taxes to cuts or regulations to cut -- to cut or regulations to cut. the republican party could have done that after the election, a much more dramatic chance right after january 6. for about five minutes it looked like they would take it. when kevin mccarthy gave his speech already suggested the president was responsible for the rioting. mitch mcconnell looked like he was prepared to take that offramp. they decided not to because they are afraid of the base. what you have in the republican party is not a leadership problem, it is a followership problem. the people who will lead the party have decided to keep their head down and do what the former president bids. the party is stark. and does not moving on, dev

congresswoman stefanik, who once worked in the george w. bush white house, may actually believe this is a legitimate audit. or she may simply be currying favor with the former president and his supporters. sources tell cnn some conservative members of congress are concerned because stefanik is not conservative, enough. one kfrt action group called her a liberal. far less conservative than liz cheney. but she has been called a star by the former president and certainly has returned the love. one activist who spoke to cnn anonymously said, quote, that is all that counts these days. here she is again on steve bannon's show. >> my vision is to run with support from the president and his coalition of voters. this is also about being one team. and i am committed to being a voice. and being a clear -- sending a clear message that we are one team. and that means working with the president, and working with all of our excellent-republican members of congress. >> by the way, the president, she is referring to, is the former president. she talks of him, as

and reagan's successor, the elite, george h.w. bush did not fit the bill. >> conservatives felt betrayed one more time. now they found a new hero, the man who wrecked bush's president. newt gingrich. >> once the democrats was back in if white house, newt gingrich became leader of the opposition. >> we are going to change their world, they'll do anything to stop us. >> gingrich pioneered the fight club mentality that would eventually consume the gop. >> gingrich understood that his voters did not care about winning, winning policy fights. what they cared about was fighting. >> mr. begigingrich will whispe your right ear and i will whisper on his left. >> boosting gingrich were some powerful new allies. >> fox news channel. >> the fox news channel fed the conservative grievance. most are very politically correct. well, we are going to try to be different. >> the way report and cover it. if we could not make the voters believe anymore then we have to fight the cultural wars. >> by the time george w. bush became president, a new wave of co
