It's partly Trump's fault.
But then it's also true that the Democrats have pretty much become what the Republicans were in Bush's time, so it's no surprise that Bush's people would be fine with Kamala.
Not really. Very few Republicans then or now would have shared her stance on abortion, affirmative action, the death penalty, or gun control, for instance.
Bush's people are giving their support for the same reason Romney, Kinzinger, and so on: they recognize that Trump is a threat to our democracy.
