This paragraph was written by someone who served in a recent GOP administration. Can you guess which one it was?

The author complained about the anti-intellectual "Mayberry Machiavellis" who didn't care a white about making good policy, all they cared about was getting the messaging right so as to secure re-election.

This is the description of the GWB White House offered by John Dilulio who served as the first director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives under Bush.

It was written in 2002. People, Trump's GOP and their approach to governing didn't come out of nowhere. https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a2880/dilulio/

Hmmm...I could have done that thread better and with fewer typos. Anyway, you get the point. Anyone waiting for the GOP to return to the "good old days" when they were a responsible party must be thinking about some other GOP than the one I've known my entire life.
