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.

Alan Keyes did not run for President in 1992.
FreeRepublic.com did not exist until 1996.
i hope this is not true.
I don’t doubt that he would vote for countess. She will carry on with his ‘New World Order’ aka one world government. The one that Nimrod tried to establish, the one the Antichrist will rule. I seem to recall that a woman rides this beast system, and that it hates her. That woman is figurative, but I always wondered if a person fills in the part we do see. I hope she looses the election.
Guess he’s not a statesman when he won’t criticize Obama or defend W. He’s just another political elite.
Thank you.
Im an anti Busher. Never thought this day would come... Damn.
And so ???
This is how daddy makes his little boy Yebby’s owie feel better. Poor little Yebbie! Boo! Hoo! Hoo!
Amen to that. It has been one hell of a transition from my original perception of the GOP over the years.
Mr. Trump will win the Presidency to the good of America and to the ruin of globalists like George H.W. Bush.
Stay out da GD Liberal Booshies!!! ...
This doesn’t surprise me at all. In fact, I expected him to. The Bushs and Clintons have been very close. Some people say that the two parties were really one at the top, and things like this make me believe them. The establishment is bigger than party. It shows how much they care about abortion and the Supreme Court, gun control, and lower taxes. Obviously there are disagreements on immigration, trade, and foreign policy with Trump, but I would think that after there was a terrorist attack that his son dealt with as President that he would want a strong foreign policy. However, Hillary voted for the war in Iraq and has shown to be ready to go to war. She is neocon like in her foreign policy. It’s why the neocons like her. The bottom line is, both sides are elite with their own sets of big money donors and lobbyists. It’s not surprising and explains why many former Bush aides are among those who endorsed Clinton or won’t support Trump at the least.
If this sore loser wasn’t Reagans nominee he would have voted Carter
The bushes are all frauds. They told voters they were against abortion to get elected. Turns out most of them are pro choice. Sleazy bunch.
Read my lips: “She is going to raise taxes.”
What a Sore Loserman!!!!!
No longer!
God damn the Bushes!
Long live the Donald!
Trump is REALLY effective in outing these RINOS!!
Clinton beat the snot out of HIM, and he adopted him!! Weird people, politicians.
