Just about says it all.

Rather than support Donald Trump in the 2016 election, George W. Bush reportedly left the Select-a-president space blank and voted instead for down-ballot Republicans. And he apparently had company as John McCain, Mitt Romney and W's father, George H.W. also refused to vote for Donald Trump.
But it’s not as though conservatives should be surprised. Because the US counter-attack after 9/11 was mandatory, during 8 years in the Oval Office, George W. managed only 2 estimable acts…those being the nomination of John Roberts and Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. And one of these decisions had to be forced upon him as the president had originally nominated his White House council, Harriet Myers, to replace the retiring Sandra Day O’Connor. Thankfully, the resulting outcry was so deafening that Myers withdrew her name from consideration; Alito was then thrust upon W and the rest is history.
Throughout his 2nd term, Bush was mercilessly castigated by the liberal media. Though the unwarranted attacks continued day after day for years, Bush chose to remain above it all by refusing to answer them. Of course, the damage done the Republican Party thanks to Bush’s silence was enormous. But no matter, for W had made the high ground his own. The dope.
The result of this pathetic, silent submission to years of unwarranted abuse was a Democrat blitz in the 2008 election, resulting in sufficient numbers in the United States Senate to ensure the passage of ObamaCare. Thanks a heap, George.
This year, the calculated betrayal of the American people by W and other NeverTrumpers didn’t matter one bit as voters took up the banner from slack-jawed, GOPe politicos...

Bush senior and Laura Bush admitted they voted for Hillary.
You can bet Jeb didn’t vote for Trump. It’s only logical W voted for Hillary.
The Clintons and Bushes are very close.
“Who would have thought this about the Bush family? They were so good at hiding who they really are - had me fooled.”
That’s what so great about this Presidential Election of 2016, you pretty much know how everybody stands right now.
In 2008 Rush admitted he carried W’s water for too long after Obama won.
WBush is a globalist elitist who never had a single criticism of Obama but couldn’t shut up about Trump and how bad HE was.
WBush can suck it.
Too right there! True colors have been shining through these last 8 years. Im not sorry I voted for him, but he will never be classified in the same category as Reagan. And every time I speak the name Reagan, I will do so gleefully knowing it rankles the Bushes.
I’ll never forget when W referred to the Minuteman Project as “vigilantes”.
Now look at bush, graham, mccain etc.
The damage these infiltrators have done to the country is probably terminal. They killed the party....treat them accordingly.
HOORAY Donald J. Trump! Congratulations, sir. The GREATEST American this century thus far. Knocked out the Bush political machine, the Clinton political machine, the media propaganda machine in one election cycle and he’s not even sworn in yet!!!
Thank you, sir.
WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!
Yup. Move to Canada George.
Just about says it all.
It’s my dear wish that Trump would help bring a good primary challenger to Graham! That would be 2018.
I agree. Got any good suggestions?
Good point.
That pretty much says it all.
Jeff Duncan has Graham’s old house seat. He has not proven as treacherous as the other Tea Party 2010 types from SC. Tim Scott is something of a disappointment—he just sleepwalks.
A) there is no need to yell
B) I am not brain washed. I disliked W his entire presidency
Just another reason I don’t like the bushes in general
And C) I am no fan of the turf from Arizona either
Reportedly? By whom? I thought all voting ballots were secret? Was there a creepy guy behind him taking a picture of his vote?
Bring on the mobs!
Compassionate Conservatism aka Liberalism!!! ...amen! ...
