Former President George W. Bush has a message for the Republican Party: "You will exist in the future."

In an interview with ABC News that aired on Wednesday, Bush added that his brother Jeb Bush would make a great candidate in 2016. "He'd be a marvelous candidate, if he chooses to do so," Bush said, adding, "He doesn't need my counsel 'cause he knows what it is, which is 'run!'"

Bush's comments about the GOP come at a time when the party is working to rebuild after losses in the 2012 election. The Republican National Committee in March released a post-mortem on the election, which concluded that the party needs to adopt a more inclusive tone. That message has hit a few speed bumps at the local level.

Cause he knows what it is...
Which is "run"

Ya can't get fooled again!

2. Still saying strange things

I remember the "Bushisms."

They must not be in a great position when he is reassuring them they will "exist."

4. Change up the word order, and he's well on his way to becoming the GOP Yoda.

"Exist in the future, you will."

3. Repubs cannot win without a Bush on the ticket.

Since there are no Nixons alive and viable.

Because since 1932, there have been no Republicans that have won the White House without a Nixon or a Bush on the ticket. That is 81 years, folks!
