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 hes 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. Thats what he said, she told POLITICO.

Wouldnât believe one of the Kennedys if he/she told me what time it was.

His preference may not be for Trump, but telling someone that preference doesn’t seem like him.

If Bush is voting against him then that makes my vote for Trump that much more enjoyable.

Indeed he has that right. Just as we do to criticize his abject stupidity.

one of the worst leftist presidents ever for many reasons, but mainly for destroying the Reagan legacy. he had the mandate to build on it, instead, he dismantled it. what a traitor to Reagan he was.

W hasn't come out for Trump either, and obviously Jeb hasn't, so no surprise that GHWB is apparently supporting Hillary. The only Bush that has come out in favor of Trump is Jeb's son George, and I'm sure that is only because he sees his political future circling the bowl if he doesn't do so.

“He is NOT nor should he be a revered elder statesman. He is ugly and devious and has been controlling our politics for far too long. He is evil.”
You’ll get no disagreement from me on that. I fully know what the man is.
I’m only saying that he occupies a niche in American politics that would normally make him a revered elder statesman of our party.
The fact that he isnt, is entirely his own doing.
