There goes another one.

Hank Paulson, chairman of the Paulson Institute and a former Treasury secretary in George W. Bush’s administration, will neither vote for Donald Trump in November nor abstain, he wrote in an op-ed published Friday in The Washington Post.

“I’ll be voting for Hillary Clinton with the hope that she can bring Americans together to do the things necessary to strengthen our economy, our environment and our place in the world,” Paulson wrote. “To my Republican friends: I know I’m not alone.”

Paulson is the latest George W. Bush administration official to not only reject the Republican Party’s presumptive presidential nominee, but to declare support for Clinton. Former Bush Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage told POLITICO last week he would vote for Clinton.

Yes. First Scowcroft, now Paulsen. This is clearly a signal from the Bush camp sending out surrogates who will support the insider statist democrat against the disruptor.

Paulson is GS. That alone might explain it, siding with his partners rather than political acquaintances. However, I think it stinks out loud aside from that. The USA could not have been better to this guy, to turn his back on it now, it just stinks to high heaven.

Hank Paulson must be getting his money from globalists. Just another to sink in their won stew.

I really hate to think of all the money and time I wasted contributing to the Bush campaign and driving all over going to rallies.

The globalist agenda of open borders and phony free-trade agreements, and the end of national sovereignty, is the only thing this Bush scum (including the Bushes) were ever loyal to.

Trump opposes those things and Hillary supports them, so they go with Hillary.

Look for some sort of ‘move’ at the GoP convention.

You know what is crazy, is that in an early debate Jeb had Trump on the ropes regarding acquiring gambling licenses in the Florida, and then suddenly he shut his mouth about them. I wonder what he knew Trump’s counter punch was about to be.

Excellent that these hacks are exposing themselves, also serves to verify how the Bush administrations were packed with globalists.

The Bush and Clinton families are one and the same, it is one family.

It's great that they are outing themselves. Ritual hara-kiri
is the honorable thing to do. At least they aren't turning to taqiyya like the Marxists.
