This is good news. Trump can make the case that the Bush war mongers are all backing Hillary.

During the ‘90s, I met several former high ranking male Navy officers who were in civilian business management jobs and very much in favor of radical feminism. What’s up with that?

This the guy who really did out Valerie Plame and caused Scooter Libby to be jailed.

Dick is his first name very apropos, he is loyal to the GOP just like his former boss Colon Bowel who voted for Obama twice.

The Bushees are out, and pouting

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

That's what happens when you pick a running mate to appease the establishment wing of your party. It's a good move from the standpoint of short-term political gain (so that you don't have your own party actively trying to sabotage your campaign, as establishment Republicans are doing to Trump), but in the long run it just helps empower the establishment. That's why I really hope that Trump doesn't try to appease the establishment of the GOP by picking a running mate like Rubio etc, because then the party hack can use the Vice Presidency as a launchpad for his own career and his family/allies, as the Bushes did with Reagan.

When are we going to hear about the Bush’s choosing Clinton over Trump?

They won't openly endorse Hillary, because to do so would be to admit that the "choice" between Democratic and Republican establishments is no choice at all. It's important to maintain the charade that there's a real ideological divide between the Clinton-type Democrats and Bush Republicans, when they are really one and the same.

As I said earlier, the Bushes and their political team (Rove, the neoconservatives, etc) will help Clinton by pulling whatever strings they can to sabotage Trump in the general election. They'll just do it behind the scenes.

One of VERY few things he [Reagan] did wrong

That and amnesty for Mexican illegals. Unfortunately, the cheap labor lobby took presidence over our national interest in guiding that decision.

Neocons will be neocons. They were never real Republicans to begin with.

” . . . but behind the scenes the Bushes and their allies will be quietly pulling strings to help elect Hillary.”

Friendship runs deeper than love of country. The Clintons and the Bush family are close friends and collaborators.

One of the absolute golden unintended consequences of Trumps success.. is the self inflicted reveal of Rino Republicans. I love when these people come out and say “ I will vote for Hillary” BOOM NOTED YOU BASTARD. Welcome to the Black hole of free republic... Which Speaking of someone needs to be official score keeper on FR so we can easily reference quotes from people that are significant to our values, with reference info so we can go back and check on that individual in the future.

You always have a choice; you can vote for a REPUBLICRAT or a DEMICAN.
Personally, I think I will go TRUMP.

All these losers who spent their whole career living large on the public dole before becoming NWO lobbying whores. Guys like Armitage think they are big tough alpha males because they are deemed so by bureaucratic desk jockeys. When they see a real alpha male, who has thrived in the real world, the entrepreneurial world, they become intimidated and lash out.

Yes, it was Arbitrage who revealed Plane’s name to a journalist, then let Scooter Libby take the fall for it.... the man has no honor. Same goes for Colin Powell, the RINO Obama-lover.

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.

+1. We stay on the path we've been on for a few more years, and Reagan will be all but forgotten. His legacy's already pretty much gone.

Richard Armitage, the deputy secretary of state under George W. Bush,

The very same Richard Armitage who, in an interview with Robert Novak mentioned that some unknown bitch named Valerie Plame was once an undercover CIA agent? (Which to this date, has never been verified)

The very same Richard Armitage who was the subject of a Democrap led, fueled by their propagandists in the MSM, of a three year investigation into who "OUTED" Valerie Plame and which led to Jack Wilson and his whore Valerie Plame becoming the toast of the town in both New York and Washington?

And the very same Richard Armitage, who was finally outed, suffered no consequences whatsoever but yet some poor schlep named Scooter Libby in the Bush administration was sentenced to two years in prison for allegedly lying to a Federal Grand Jury over some conversation he had two years prior?

Is that the same Richard Armitage?
