George H.W. Bush to vote for Hillary
POLITICO ^ | September 19, 2016 | Darren Samuelsohn

Posted on 09/19/2016 8:46:06 PM PDT by Trump20162020

Former President George H.W. Bush is bucking his party's presidential nominee and plans to vote for Hillary Clinton in November, according to a member of another famous political family, the Kennedys.

Bush, 92, had intended to stay silent on the White House race between Clinton and Donald Trump, a sign in and of itself of his distaste for the GOP nominee. But his preference for the wife of his own successor, President Bill Clinton, nonetheless became known to a wider audience thanks to Kathleen Hartington Kennedy Townsend, the former Maryland lieutenant governor and daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy.

On Monday, Townsend posted a picture on her Facebook page shaking hands next to the former president and this caption: "The President told me he’s voting for Hillary!!”

In a telephone interview, Townsend said she met with the former president in Maine earlier today, where she said he made his preference known that he was voting for a Democrat. “That’s what he said,” she told POLITICO.

I don’t believe HW is suffering from dementia. Most of the Bush clan will be voting for Hillary, the adopted daughter-in-law.

I wonder who he voted for in 1992.

I don’t know. This came from a Kennedy turd. I’ve never given them much credibility. This is more than likely just a bunch of bull****.

We already know what GHWB is; he didn’t need to prove it.

GHW Bush told us quite clearly that Bill Clinton is his brother from another mother. That makes Hillary his sister-in-law. Of course the Bushes will vote for Mrs. Clinton. They are family. the Bush-Clinton Crime Family.

I support that man’s career he was a great American. I hope this isn’t true. If it is then it’s unforgivable but he’s old and feeble.

If the Bushes vote Hillary they all need to rot in hell.

“thanks to Kathleen Hartington Kennedy Townsend”


A Democrat so loathed that she couldn’t even win in Maryland.

He was already a disaster for the Reagan legacy, and his ineptitude made the Clintons possible. No way Bill Clinton ever should have been able to win in 1992, Pres. GHW Bush blew it by reneging on his no new taxes pledge, failing utterly to campaign, letting Bill Clinton walk all over him, etc.

Whoever keeps posting the phrase “best election ever” is spot on.

The uni-party ship is sinking and all the rats are coming out of the woodwork.

H.W. was one of the biggest mistakes Reagan made.

H.W. Is sad that Jeb! didn’t get to be Hildabeasts designated loser in this election.

The Bush Family has indicated they would vote for Hillary for the last year.

“Most of the Bush clan will be voting for Hillary, the adopted daughter-in-law.”

So true, this not surprising at all. I would say it's a kiss of death for Hillary but she's already there.

He can take his NWO and stick it where the sun don’t shine. Trump opened our eyes to these globalists. He can have Hillary. America first!
