The Bush family’s lament: They detest the GOP nominee, and now have become his foil.
Politico ^ | September 21, 2016 | Eli Stokols

Their distaste for Donald Trump was no secret. But they saw no point in publicizing it. From Miami to Houston, Crawford to Kennebunkport, members of the Republican Party’s first family remained quiet for months, avoiding cameras and questions about presidential politics and focusing their few fundraiser appearances on assisting the GOP candidates who would be forced to share the November ballot with a nominee they detest.

Bush/Clinton aren’t happy unless they are stoking flames to start a war or in the middle of a war.

The Bushes need a Clinton win to maintain the status quo. The Bushes are a substantial part of problems here and abroad. The old man was the first to publicly proclaim the New World Order. Trump upsets their strategy especially with a Trump win securing 4 - 5 SCOTUS picks.

Please remember: GHW Bush did not like Reagan. He despised him.

Bushies are still livid about having to rent space to house those $75.00 guacamole bowls.

IMHO, it speaks volumes of how Bushies feel towards the general public to pimp a freakin’ $2.00 guacamole bowl for $75.00.

Really, $75.00??

Also, GHWB was a creature of the Washington swamp. Long history in various government positions going back to the 1960’s.

There is so much worthy of our disrespect in the Bush family.

“Please remember: GHW Bush did not like Reagan. He despised him.”

And, IIRC, Reagan didn’t like Bush, either. Wasn’t Bush forced upon Reagan for the VP slot?

Someone tell Hillary that GHWB's endorsement means that Texas is now in play, so she will pour lots of money trying to win Texas.

That might be unfortunate for people in Texas seeing her ads on TV, but it would be money she isn't spending elsewhere.

The American Romanoffs perceive a threat to their cheesy little empire.

Thats all that matters to them. America is just the current stop on the grifter tour.

His bizarre "thousand points of light" speech and countless references to the New World Order had me squirming long before Kid-W wrecked the national debt and blew open our borders.

During the 2000 primaries his "Compassionate Conservatism " and "On the Backs of the POOR " statements said it all

Thru their cadre, Scocroft, Wolfowitz and others endorsing the Hag, they have already endorsed the Dem, and stabbed DJT in the back.

Me, if I was still in Texas I would say Moroncito PeePee Bush
Goodbye. PeePee didn’t like to show up to earn his money anyway.

All these guys who violated their signed pledge deserve only our contempt.

Viva Trump

Isn’t this an endorsement for Democrats and Independents who despise the GOP and the Bush clan ?

The Bushes are evidently turning on their own party just because we won’t elect a THIRD Bush for president. The Tea Party was right all along about the GOP establishment. You cannot trust them.

exactly

That’s the real hypocrisy. And allegedly they claim to be Christians and harbor this anger and seek out revenge and want to elect someone who allegedly has been against what they claim in the past yet here they are. This is how H.W. will end his days supporting enemies of this country.

A lot of people might think that the Bushes are supporting Clinton because of the beating Trump gave Jeb!, but this isn't the reason...

The WHOLE reason the Bushes are supporting Clinton is because of the mess they both made in Haiti...pure and simple...

Do you see houses for these people to live in? Do you see schools built for their children to learn in? Do you see hospitals for their sick and injured to be made whole again? Do you see groceries stores to buy food in? Do you see a police department or a fire department? Do you see a ‘City Hall’?

No you don't, why do you think the people went to Trump the other day? To listen to him, NO, they want him to do something about all the money that was laundered through the Bushes and Clintons because the people of Haiti didn't get ANY OF IT!!!

It's called ‘money laundering’ and again like everything else the Clintons are involved in, it went the way crap goes down the sewer lines...they got their shares, but the people in that earthquake didn't get ANYTHING!!!

So the best way to cover this up is to ‘circle the wagons’ on it...The Only Reason This Happened!!!

And Trump isn’t even a teabagger. What gives?

Dearest GHWB and Barbie,
Consider the alternative. Really put some thought into this, is the Trump alternative good for the America? Are you and the Clinton’s cut from the same political cloth? Is your legacy to associate yourselves with Jackass party?

Say hello to GW and Laura and let them know that they too are Jackass fisted meat puppets like yourselves and are proving out to be pridefully arrogant as well.

All ya’all seem to have overlooked the upcoming SCOTUS appointments, the 2nd amendment issues, and the poor decisions yet to come. The campaign may have gotten ugly, but Trump had the votes and the fat kid didn’t. Suck it up and move along. If you have any ill regard for the nominee keep it under wraps until after the election because the jackass party and the MSM will kick you to the curb once it is over with anyway.

Trump should shout this to the rooftops. If you can imagine how popular Bush-bashing was during the GOP primary, it’s nothing compared to the mileage he could get out if it in the general election. The two Bush Presidents screwed the Republican Party with a lot of voters for a generation; Trump will have a lot of work to do to reverse what they’ve done to the Reagan legacy.

The Bush crime family is as vile and treasonous as they get.

I'm ashamed I trusted them and voted for them.

No more, never, ever, ever again.

Go Trump
