A Kennedy outs a Bush who favors a Clinton.

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. BushHillaryPic.jpg

Asked about Townsend’s post, George H.W. Bush spokesman Jim McGrath in an email replied, "The vote President Bush will cast as a private citizen in some 50 days will be just that: a private vote cast in some 50 days. He is not commenting on the presidential race in the interim."
George H.W. Bush and former First Lady Barbara Bush have stayed out of the political debate since campaigning earlier this year for their son Jeb's unsuccessful bid for president. Neither George H.W. Bush nor his son, former President George W. Bush, attended this summer's Republican National Convention in Cleveland where Trump accepted the nomination. 09_hillary_clinton_17_gty_1160.jpg
2016 50-day countdown begins

Many former GOP officials from both Bush administrations have also announced their support for Clinton over Trump, including national security adviser Brent Scowcroft and former Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez.
One Bush official who has taken Trump's side is former Vice President Dan Quayle, who told POLITICO in an interview this summer he was still holding out hope both Bushes would back Trump. "Clearly in their heart of hearts I should hope they would want a Republican president, but they can speak for themselves," Quayle said in an interview in July.
Thus the the Bush dynasty died.
So the Clintons decided to use a fragile 92 year old former President who Billy Boy trounced in ‘92 who was then replaced by GW in 2000 and who has been blamed for every Obama failure for the past eight years.
We must end these diabolical dynasties.
“I too am getting tired of Huma Abedin. Huma’s Weiner is hardly better.”
Yeah, the RATs should have run a “Weiner/Holder Ticket!
I’d be surprised if that old Kennebunkport douchebag doesn’t die peacefully in his sleep before the November election.
I have said for years that the Bushes were closeted democrats. Globalists of the first degree. Prescott Bush, GHW Bush’s old man, helped finance Hitler and was the first secretary of what would become Planned Parenthood. All the Bushes have always been pro-abortion. GHW was 100% pro-abortion when Reagan picked him to be his running mate and Reagan told him to be on the ticket he would have to soften his abortion stance so he started saying he would only abort babies in cases of rape, incest and life of the mother. Little George is as liberal as any liberal democrat. He had the same abortion views and appointed more homosexuals to his administration than all other presidents combined. He never vetoed the first spending bill till his last couple months in office. Within a week after getting out of office his smirking liberal wife got on the talk shows and informed the world she was pro-sodomite “marriage” and pro-abortion. Old lady Barbara Bush is also pro queer “marriage” and pro-abortion, as is GW Bush’s two daughters. But the main reason George HW Bush will vote for Clinton is because they’re both globalist, cheap labor pimps and the cartel sticks together. The Bushes are the worst thing that ever happened to the Republican Party. George W. Bush is the reason the country has Obama. He was little George’s going away present to America.
Trump should carry Texas and Maine, so Bush’s lapse in reason is irrelevant.
Claim: Did Zachary Rodham referred to Hillary Clinton as a malignant aunt?
Remember: A claim is just a claim until a person produces proof of the claim.
It might have been outside the box of how candidates usually approach thier competition, but it’s not “out there” as a theory. It’s spot on. It’s true. Rafael Cruz is in The picture standing next to Lee Harvey Oswald. Not a stretch to think the two men knew each other. thats as far as Trump went actually.
Yes, where’s the proof Bush admitted his vote for Clinton?
thank you for this link of confirmation
Bush=Clinton=Globalists
Romney is just another one of their ‘sons’
The whole damn thing needs to be burned to the ground
The Northeastern Establishment / Monarchist / Democrat Party wing of the Republican Party has spoken....
Another badge of honour for Trump. Most Americans are sick of the legacy politics of the Kennedy’s, Bushes and Clintons. Just go away.
A World War II vet excuses the likes of Hillary?
Wait. That’s not fair to World War II vets.
A GOPe RINO excuses the likes of Hillary?
That I can believe without blinking. I mean, what else is new?
I don’t think it makes a whit of difference. We rejected Jeb, who is infinitely more conservative than Bush the elder so who gives a crap what he thinks. He lives in another era, one where your name gets you elected and you profit off of your government connections. Those days MUST and WILL come to an end.
