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.

I have nothing kind to say, so I shall remain silent.

Told you
Don’t believe it..
Nope. He has to protect the secrets of the drugs in Mena.
He’s been best buds with the Clintons for a long time.
“Well, thats it and the little one was his favorite.”
Which proves what a poor judge of character Poppy is.
Not just that, but also a poor judge of the political climate, the American people, history itself, and our whole grand experiment in this country.
GHWB should have quit when he was a bona fide war hero. The man should have stayed in the oil business and never gotten his family involved in politics. The whole country would have been better for it.
We rejected him over his read my lips promise. The way Trump spanked his baby boy, it's no wonder he is off pouting and taking up with the mean boy's enemy.
I voted for Bush, but Perot was 100% right. Almost everything he predicted came to pass.
“To a younger person, Bush the Elder seems like a different century.”
In actual fact, it was a different century. Millenials have almost no recollection of Bill Clinton, let alone, GHWB and Reagan.
Heck, when GHWB left office, I hadn’t even hit 40. I’m a granddaddy now, pushing retirement. That’s how long it’s been since he was relevant.
Read my lips, IDIOT.
Quelle surprize. Now, if they said he was going to vote for her more than twice, that would be news.
He didn’t. It’s a lie. He has already said his vote is private and he has not, and will not be, telling anyone what it is.
“George Sr. and Jr. have ruined what should have been a fabulous Reagan legacy. Trump is far more in the spirit of Reagan than either of them. It is now up to Trump to restore the party and the nation.”
A big ole Texas yep to that!
I really believe Donald’s going to do it, too. We’re going to be so proud again.
Reagan’s biggest mistake...
Yeah, I couldn’t agree more.
Stay Out Da Bushes

Bushes and Clintons are part of the same political dynasty.
