Former Bush Treasury secretary: 'I'll be voting for Hillary Clinton'(yet ANOTHER Bush crony!)

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.

I will never forget the report that that tall man got on his knees in front of Nancy Pelosi, begging her to pass the bank bailout. As a former Goldman Sachs big shot, he could see his retirement fund crashing before his eyes, but Nancy saved the day. Now we are supposed to believe that this will be his first time to vote Dem? Not very likely.

I now Hate the Bush family and their ILK

I hear you and have joined the hate Bush family club several months ago. They are all glitterati elitists, one world central planner hypocrites.

Bush can shed all of the crocodile tears he wants for our soldiers he sent to his unnecessary Iraq war who were killed or came back with horrible injuries, but he can never wash the blood off his hands for destroying thousands of lives and selling our country out.

You have uttered my biggest fear. The elites will not stand for a Trump presidency.

Paulson is one of the crony elite that would whore out his mother, wife and daughter for a Wall Street buck ... he was part of the crash and robbery of the US Treasury.

Yup—it’s all about the Jeb! That plus, somewhere along the line, the Bushes and Clintons became best buds.

Paulson spoke to the Dems before speaking to the entire Congress, when the raid on the US Treasury took place in 2008. He briefed them FIRST.

The Bushes have been evil for a long long time. Their desires have meshed with the Clintons’ for quite some time as well. They have a classier “sheen” but they are the same anti American trash, hurting people for the same selfish reasons.

Perhaps he can help Hillary the way he helped Lehman Brothers and AGI.

Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson together with Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke managed to convince Congress that a $700 billion TARP bailout of banks was necessary. George W. Bush agreed.

Middle Class arsonist Paulsen + Xlinton + Bush = LAUGHING-THIEVING ELITES.

Let’s also not forget the smirking idiot’s comment when immigration reform (Scamnasty) was going thru the Congress when asked about the public outcry and he replied... ‘See you at the signing’.
