George H.W. Bush to vote for Hillary
POLITICO ^ | September 19, 2016 | Darren Samuelsohn

Posted on 09/19/2016 8:46:06 PM PDT by Trump20162020

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.

George's dear friends hate Mr. Trump.

What a coincidence.

Well, Trump did pick on his little boy Jebbie.

What make him think anyone cares whom he votes for?

To many of us it doesn’t seem so very long ago, but caring that George Herbert Walker Bush is voting for Clinton in 2016 is kind of like caring who Adlai Stevenson was supporting in 1980.

Only if you'd supported Stevenson to later find he was the opposite of what he'd pretended to be.

I see him as a traitor who broke his word. No means NO NEW TAXES... and the 666 globalist NWO, 1000 points of light crap was right out of Damien.

His pro abort wife, and daughter in laws, along with G. W’s drinking and carousing pro abort daughters... shouted

WHORE OF BABYLON to me.
GHWB, HE gave us Bill Clinton. He betrayed the principles that Reagan heralded. He ran the CIA under Reagan as the VP... and that is where Arkansas became the new MECCA for the drugs for money for unauthorized CIA actions worldwide originated.

He was a lover of the islamics from day one.

His voting for Hillary is NO SURPRISE... and my belief is that the bushes have been empowering socialism in the USA for the last 40-50 years.

He cannot hide behind his WW2 service on this.

I would like to see things go so poorly for the Bush family that they have to self exile the entire family. Maybe they can take their adopted son and his family, Billy J Clintong, with them to cuba... if not... send the forcibly to live in Gitmo.

incommunicado for the duration.

I don’t think so. Read “Jeb and the Bush Crime Family” and it’s easy to see ‘birds of a feather stick together’.

For years it’s been pretty much common knowledge that the Bushes and Clintons are tighter than ticks. I don’t know if it’s the globalist ideology or if there’s something more sinister going on having to do with filthy lucre.

Who knew Jesse Jackson would be correct one time — like a stopped clock?

Voting for the wife of your long-time friend and business partner? What’s wrong with that?

NO MORE BUSHES!!! If this true that any GOPer who votes for another Bush is a loser. The political career of the scion of Jeb Bush, who holds a statewide office in Texas, should be over.

I am now regretting less my vote for Perot in 1992...

I am very proud of my vote for Perot in 1992.

Just as the AuH2O64 disaster set the stage for 1980 and 1984, the existence of an anti-globalist bloc of 19 million voters as early as 1992 pointed the way forward to the destruction of the Uniparty.
