Costa: Privately GOP Senators and House Members Said They’re in ‘Lock-Step’ with George W. Bush

‘A lot of them echoed Senator Graham’

RUSH EXCERPT:
COSTA: "When I was at the Capitol this week, I talked to some senators on the Republican side and some House members. A lot of them echoed Senator Graham. They said privately, they’re in lock step with President George W. Bush. They respect President Obama’s comments. But they believe the country, in part because, they told me, about the Obama and Bush presidencies, has lost faith in the institutions, of the national political parties. And because of this rising populism and just general frustration, the leaders in Washington don’t feel able to navigate this moment."
