Former President George W. Bush will not support President Trump in his effort to seek reelection this year.
People familiar with his thinking told the New York Times the 43rd president won't back his fellow Republican, who will likely face former Vice President Joe Biden in the general election.
Freddy Ford, a spokesman for Bush, said the former president plans to speak out only on policy issues.

“So here is something to ponder. If the libtards were right about Bush in retrospect, in 10 years will they be right about Trump?”
No. This whole thread is silly.
The libtards were NOT right about Bush - Bush was far, far better than Al Gore or John Kerry.
We don’t despise Bush for anything he did while POTUS. We despise Bush (rightfully) because he was a #neverTrumper.
Let’s not rewrite history and say Bush lied about WMDs to get us into Iraq - we all thought there were WMDs - in fact I’m quite sure there WERE WMDs.
Bush’s unforgivable sin is his disgusting failure to support President Trump, nothing more, nothing less.

Apparently so. Made W.’s brain and Jeb!’s brain all liberal-squishy-stupid.

[Yeb! was only running to be the Designated Loser]
That is 100% correct. Jeb! didn’t have a chance to win president of the 3rd grade.
His only mission was to peel off enough votes so that sister Hillary could win.

[That snuggly grinning happy photo, or he’s jamming out and dancing with Michelle later is at the funeral of five police officers murdered by BLM. If one of your loved ones was one of the dead, how would you like that smirk on his face at his funeral?]
He looks like he's had one or two too many. What idiotic behavior at such an event. Good gosh, even Joe Biden, for Heaven's sake, had the good sense to stay somber-looking. Pretty bad when Joe Biden looks more adult that W. And I have no respect for Joe Biden at all. Biden and his boss kept throwing gasoline on the fire that got those cops murdered by BLM. I have not forgotten that.

The Bushes have put the old GOP establishment faction and their personal adherents into a long, nasty political guerrilla war. In primaries, Trumpers will justly go volcanic on anyone suspected of Never Trumper sympathies.

George just can't support anyone who is not pro communist Chinese or a left wing antifeta nut job.
He's just pissed we have a real president who is driving a stake through the heart of the evil beast deep state swamp thing in the US.

Worst mistake Reagan made was picking a Bush to be VP. Wasn’t necessary, Reagan would have won in a landslide no matter who he chose.

He didn’t support Trump in 2016 why should we expect 2020 to be any different?
To: Rebelbase
Funny how things and people change. Bush changed, not us. And, honestly, if Trump had treated my brother the way he treated Yeb! I wouldn't be a fan either. That said, I'm very glad Trump was there to squash another Bush presidency.

Yes Bush was and is a huge disappointment. I think the plan this last election was to have Jeb be the nominee and gracefully lose to Hillary. Thank God for Trump.

You really start to wonder if it was true that George Jr got us in to Iraq to even the score for his father..?
They seem willing to do anything to get back at someone.
Like the old man voting for Hillary.
