I always knew all the Bush's, including GW were Progressives.

Compare that to when the Clintons left the white house.  They stole the China and all the "W"s from the type writers.

The interesting contrast between Bush 1's class and Trump, who may not even accept the results of the election when Gary Johnson wins (I wish).

It was a very classy note written by one president to a soon to be one. I, too, wish success for every president that enters that office. However, my measure of "success" is obviously different than President Obama's or Clinton's. Unfortunately, I don't believe that President Clinton or Obama had the same vision of "success" for this country, nor will Hillary. As much as I disagree with Trump on a lot of things, I think he truly wants success for this country. He's already rich and famous so he doesn't need the presidency for that (of course he won't complain about more money or fame). Hillary is in this for her own personal gain.

How can  you expect Trump to guarantee he will accept the results after all the stunts Gore pulled, and then had Democrats defending him.  There could be things that come up that he just can't accept, for good reason.

He may have also been contrasting GHWB's class with that of Clinton (both of them) and Obama.  Clinton's stole all the "W"s and the White House China when they left the white house, and Obama blamed Bush for everything wrong in the country for the next 7 years (and is still doing it).

Fucking Dems got the sound bite they wanted. They want him to concede before the election.

In the meantime, some school for you:

...Trump, who may not even accept the results of the election ...

"At a private fund-raiser in Los Angeles for Democratic Sen. Jean Carnahan of Missouri, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton told the crowd that President Bush merely had been "selected" president, not elected, Newsweek reports in the current issue." (linky (http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/newsweek-hillary-clinton-to-crowd-at-fund-raiser-in-los-angeles-bush-was-selected-president-not-elected-says-bushs-machine-has-raised-far-more-money-to-ruin-the-reputations-of-our-candidates-76491792.html))

Cue the media histrionics about "not accepting the results of an election". Leftism is nothing if not a case study in psychological projection.

Dems love Trump, actually. They are firmly convinced that he will help them win the election.

Yep.  (But I will still wait till the election to concede defeat or accept victory).

And the MSM were similarly convinced when they conspired to make sure he got the GOP nomination.  They were so good in fact that they managed to get the only two that would lose to Hillary into the final three.  That was when I started backing Trump.

Given the number of democrats that voted for the donald in the primaries, it would be hard to argue otherwise.

The peaceful transition of power is a cherished American value.

But so is fighting for truth and justice. Trump did not achieve his success by rushing to agree to things with an element of doubt that he knew might affect the agreement.

But does power actually transfer, or are the same "powers that be" stay in charge with a different face?

Nice letter, good on President Bush to write it.

George???  No wonder he's been hanging out with the Koch brothers so much lately!  This conspiracy is bigger than I thought!  ;D

To be fair the Koch Bros. are pretty minor players compared to Soros, the unions, and the aggregate of financial institutions. 
The Koch Bros, are 27th.  Soros is 7th.  And why is the City of Philadelphia giving almost $9 Million to Democrats, and only $6 Thousand to Republicans?  Why can cities use public tax dollars for political campaigns?  They are 29th on the list.

Hey, when you are in the global conspiracy business, every billion helps.  Even the little guys need to be included.  ;D
