Bush 41, 43 Won’t Be Endorsing Trump
Outside the Beltway ^ | May 5, 2016 | Doug Mataconis

Posted on 05/05/2016 8:25:57 AM PDT by detective

The only two living Republican former Presidents have no plan to endorse Donald Trump:

For the first time since his own presidency, George H.W. Bush is planning to stay silent in the race for the Oval Office — and the younger former president Bush plans to stay silent as well.

Bush 41, who enthusiastically endorsed every Republican nominee for the last five election cycles, will stay out of the campaign process this time. He does not have plans to endorse presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump, spokesman Jim McGrath told The Texas Tribune.

I think the both Bushes began their decline with their failure to stop the murder of Terri Schiavo. Either one of them could have saved her, had innocent human life been more important to them than their own careers. And I think had either of them they shown the moral courage to do so, with the clear support of the other, Jeb would be the respected and beloved nominee and President.

Excellent point! Our pro-life family swore off Jeb over Terri's case.

Secondly, 100s of us FReepers carried a lot of water for Dubya during his administration. When he fired Rumsfeld after the 2006 mid-term, I dropped those buckets.

43’s wife and daughters already stated they would vote for HRC. I pray for the day this country moves past the destructive policies of the Bushes, Clintons, and Obamas

Larua Bush is not only for LBGT’s but is pro choice. I wasn’t aware of that until AFTER 43 left office.

Laura was a democrat when she married Dubya and became a republican for him. He converted to her religion so that they had a compromise.

I am sure that she has had a lot of influence on the daughters. Also, although men who marry libtards say thi it does not influence their politics, I have found that it does.

Bushism must be uprooted, root and branch. No more Bushes, no more stealth Bushes. Treat them like the noxious weeds that they have been for decades.

Best endorsement Trump’s gotten yet!

What’s next, the Obamas and Clintons will snub him as well?

What a bitter pill this must be, not only for the Bush’s, but for the entire GOP elites.

Let’s pray for Trump and our Nation.

Two RINO elite PsOS who are committed to pushing the NWO that Trump will stop if gets to the WH. Trump should have the entire Bush clan investigated for treason.

Of course they won't. Trump is for a free, sovereign, militarily strong and financially sound America. He's also against the NWO.

The Bushes are the NWO in America.

The First Bush pushed gun control pretty hard in the 1989 to 1992 time frame.

He pushed open trade

He pushed higher taxes

he did very little to cut down on the flow of illegal immigration in the 1988 to 1992 time frame, when he could have gotten the support of the Dems, they were anti-illegals immigration back then.

George Bush 2 was pretty good on guns

He was open trade and open borders.

He could have closed the borders post 9/11 and kept free travel in the US, instead he pushed the patriot act, massive travel security crap and did nothing to secure the borders.

He sent men into harms way...and achieved nothing for it.

His time in office was what lead to Obama. He squandered the support he had post 9/11 and the control of both houses of congress. Instead of real reform he gave us graft and more liberal policies.

I see the lack of endorsement by these individuals as a good thing. They and the entire republican aristocracy that think they are owed allegiance by the plebian class can all go to H-ll.

never another nation betraying Bush ever.

“Indeed, and I suspect both will vote for Hillary.”

In view of the fact that Mama Bush thinks of Billy Boy Clinton as a son; and, 43 considers Hillary like a sister...that to me says volumes.

Some conservatives were wise to the Bush's long ago.
