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 take out $3-5k/mo, in small bills, and simply tell them in passing that I’m going antiquing or to an auction. Never had any problems.

“...I will bet if Trump is elected he will be assassinated...”

I said that last summer on a Rush or TGO thread, but that Trump would never be allowed to get thru the election and win; he’d be hit before that. The Left/NWO/GOPe are plotting for it. He’s been wearing some serious Level 3 or 4 body armor.

Sheapdog has a good nose for the truth.

“It’s because the real political party of the Establishment simply is the Council On Foreign Relations - along with their brother sister groups - TLC and Pilgrim Society ect...Globalism and sovereignty destroying immigration is preeminent in their current catechism of chaos”.

[LegendHasIt]

It is amazing to me that these Uniparty Establishment Pimps and and Prostitutes hate us conservative and libertarian peasants so much that they gladly announce that they intend to support the enemy of all that is good and decent in the world (what little there is of that remaining).

[elpadre]

after all these years being pro-American, they have become backers of one of the most treasonous politicians in history. What a terrible legacy to leave for their children.

[dfwgator]

Bushes are pro-Saudi, not Pro-American.

[LegendHasIt]

I’m not surprised that these Bushies and other GOP Establishment corruptocrats are VOTINGfor Hillary, but why do they ANNOUNCE it, confirming everything many of us have been saying about them for years?

[Arrian]

The Bushes, since Prescott, have always been and remain a gaggle of assholes too stupid for words and beyond embarrassment to the United States.
Predictably, they have always surrounded themselves w/kindred schmucks such as Paulson.

[Swede Girl]

Something is very suspicious. Yes, it is the Jeb thing, but it has to be more. If they vote for Hillary it is because they are either democrats or mentally ill....which is actually one in the same anyway.

[LTC.Ret]

Excommunicate him from the Republican Party -— NOW!!! Take away all his credentials and privileges. Do not let him meet with Republicans or attend our Convention. The Republican Party is a PRIVATE ORGANIZATION, and he has violated our rules. Send him packing, along with every other one who has publicly stated they are voting for Hillary. YES WE CAN do this -— do it NOW!!!

[Carthego delenda est]

“but why do they ANNOUNCE it”

Unbelievably arrogant, huh. Perhaps a call has gone out from the top that ALL members of their little Globalist club must publicly announce their loyalty. They’re gonna go for their long time dream of global domination come hell or high water. They think they’re on the cusp of fulfilling that dream and at this point will do whatever it takes to assure such, including rigging a presidential candidate, murdering candidates, or starting a nuclear war in an attempt to ride that tiger into their desired Arabic/Satanic outcome of world domination.

isn’t this the Paulson that absconded with billions of dollars?

“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.”

Hank Paulson, congratulations, you are a conscienceless fungus.

My wife and I kept a framed photo of Dubya and Laura on our office wall for over ten years. I really did consider him to be my president, and supported him through thick and thin for nearly his entire term.

I've gotta say, though, he really broke my heart during his last four years - squandering golden opportunity, after golden opportunity. to do something meaningful and structural, to change the rotten big government, crony capitalist system, which has been bleeding average Americans dry for decades.

I don't even know where that photo is, now. It came down a couple of moves ago, and was never put up again - and for good reason. He and his family were never a part of us. Not even a little bit.

[MaxistheBest]

We feel the same way. Really went all in for Dubya and put Laura on a pedestal. The deal he made with ethanol to get his education bill passed (working with or should I say colluding with Ted Kennedy) told us what a huge mistake we made.

Great to see Trump continuing to flush out the Establishment trash/Democrat operatives in the GOP.

[trebb]

Cheney and Rumsfeld are two of the few with a bit of sense.

[ontap]

The dishonesty of the rhinos is coming out big time....I’ll wager this bastard was hawking his conservatism when Geo. Bush hired him.....another snake in the grass exposed!!!
