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.

From CNN citing a spokesman:

“The vote President Bush will cast as a private citizen in some 50 days will be just that: a private vote cast in some 50 days,” McGrath told CNN. “He is not commenting on the presidential race in the interim.”

Adlai Stevenson was never president. Little difference there.

I couldn't come up with a perfect corollary. Unlike Bush the Elder, Ike WON re-election. To a younger person, Bush the Elder seems like a different century.

what would you expect? His pride and joy, Jeb!, got his ass handed to him in the most humiliating way possible. Despite all that Bush cash and pre-primary bravado, seems Jeb! was bitch-slapped so hard by Trump, he lost all semblance of manhood.

The Bush family no longer exists to me. Wish I could get back the money I donated to the library.

If Trump wins the election, it will probably be the GOPe that demands a recount.

“I’m starting to think that July 16, 1980 — the day that Reagan got buffaloed into taking GHWB as his running mate — was a truly dark day in the history of our republic.”

They gave us a choice between Bush and Gerald Ford, a snake and the king Rino of the 1970’s. He named Nelson Rockefeller as his veep and far leftist John Paul Stevens to the USSC. We backed the devil we didn’t know.
