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.

Senile Dementia.
The Kennedy's wouldn't lie to us about the Bush's
Sour grapes. I wonder if he thinks this will make his Jebbie something other than what he is.
I’d like to see a quote from the man himself, but I can’t say I’m surprised. Trump beat the snot out of his kid.
If true, it will prove what we’ve believed about him all along... he was here to destroy the GOP and Conservative movement from within.
You beat me to it. I am now regretting less my vote for Perot in 1992...
Given what the Dems have always said about George the Elder, shouldn’t Hillary denounce the endorsement?
NO doubt...the Clinton’s and Bushes are tight...they both exploited the government for all they could get.
Old dude goes weird. That’s never happened before.
Worse than that it is a betrayal, at a minimum, of 80% of all Republicans.
Read my lips; No more Bushes.
No kidding. If this is left unanswered by the rest of the bushes, then they are done. Good riddance.
Globalize or Americanize
I always knew he was a rat. If he dropped dead tomorrow I would be pissed because his “New Taxes” would help pay to bury his goat smellin’ ass!
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.
Says it all. Think he really didn’t know Souter was a liberal when he appointed him?
The proper term here is Consitancy.
People who actually paid any attention at all to the man’s foreign policy while he was in office expected this.
Those who lived in a dream world and never noticed how eerily McCain paralleled H.W. Bush oaren Islam aee the only ones who are even slightly surprised.
Bush is like 92. Out of order to post something like that.
