The answer, as each of the turkeys makes some form of the same announcement, between here and the election, should be a forceful comment to the effect that those who have compromised their loyalty & duty, simply cannot accept the Constitutional mandate to put "America & the Americans, first."

That is clearly what any reading of the Constitution, in context, starting with the very clear statement of purpose (the Preamble) requires.

As the Quislings make their disavowal, we need to answer with endless iterations & reiterations of the truth. The clearer that issue becomes, the stronger our campaign. There may be room on this earth for the day dream fantasies of internationalists--the pipe dreams of humanists desperately wanting their own version of the Tower at Babel. There can be no place for them in a Government sworn to preserve the liberty of an American posterity. None!!

When are we going to hear about the Bush’s choosing Clinton over Trump? After all the Bush’s greased the skids for the first Clinton and Obama and 28 years of unconstitutional Leftist government expansion and activity. The Bushes and much of the GOP are simply warmed-over DNC folks.

The worst mistake Reagan ever made was making George HW his VP.

The Bushes are North Eastern country club Liberals, and they never had any business getting into power in the first place.

I heard he did it to pacify the NeoCons, though they weren’t called that yet.

One of VERY few things he did wrong

Well the good news is they are making it easy for Trump to run against both parties.

It really is coming down to the establishment of both parties who see themselves as citizens of the world versus those of us who are just Americans.

Trump happens to be the only one running who is one of us and unafraid to say so.

Richard Armitage is a Democrat.

He was a cryptoDemocrat under Bush, but now he's come out of the closet.

That, and the 1986 Amnesty. Unfortunately both have had lasting impact.

How few understand that. Reagan's mistake turned the "Reagan Revolution" into a mere a blip on the radar screen, a speed bump temporarily slowing down the Leftist insurgency.

How many understand that maybe the most important thing Trump can do is pick a VP who will be ready, willing, and able to walk into the presidency in eight years to FINISH what Trump started by DISMANTLING 80% of the $4 trillion mostly unconstitutional federal government? Otherwise, the "Trump Revolution" will also simply be a passing blip on the radar screen.

The way this is playing out is there simply will not be a Republican candidate this year per se.

Independent vs Hillary or Sanders.

Wasn’t it Armitage who let Scooter Libby swing?....not to mention one of G.W.s worst blunders. Armitage isn’t needed in the Trump presidency...he’s a political crook!

I think Trump should try to tie Hillary to W as much as possible and tell people that Hillary is much closer to W than Trump would ever be.

wiki-

‘In 1998, Armitage signed a letter to President Bill Clinton. The letter urged Clinton to target the removal of Saddam Hussein’s regime from power in Iraq. It stated that Saddam’s massive violations of the cease-fire that had ended the First Gulf War has caused erosion of the Gulf War Coalition’s containment policy. It also raised the possibility that Iraq, emboldened by Western inaction, might re-develop weapons of mass destruction.

‘During the 2000 Presidential election campaign, he served as a foreign policy advisor to George W. Bush as part of a group led by Condoleezza Rice that called itself The Vulcans.[12] The United States Senate confirmed him as Deputy Secretary of State on March 23, 2001; he was sworn in three days later. A close associate of Secretary of State Colin Powell, Armitage was regarded, along with Powell, as a moderate within the presidential administration of George W. Bush.

Richard lived down the road in Vietnam when I was there. A smart guy but can’t put 2 and 2 together now.

Armitage, like his boss Colin Powell is a leftist operative.

Too many years in the State Department to still be a loyal American that wants to make America great again.
