Hundreds of former aides to George W. Bush, John McCain endorse Biden for president

Several hundred former aides to President George W. Bush and Sen. John McCain announced Thursday that they are endorsing Joe Biden for president.

The statements of support for the Democratic nominee come as President Donald Trump prepares to accept his party's nomination on the final night of the Republican National Convention.

A political action committee, 43 Alumni for Biden, that launched last month posted a list of nearly 300 members of the Bush administration or campaigns who are publicly backing Biden. The names range from members of the Cabinet, including former Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez and former Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman, to ambassadors, to White House and advance staffers.

Meanwhile, more than 100 former staff of McCain's congressional offices and campaigns also endorsed Biden for president.

“Given the incumbent president’s lack of competent leadership, his efforts to aggravate rather than bridge divisions among Americans, and his failure to uphold American values, we believe the election of former Vice President Biden is clearly in the national interest,” they said in a letter.

Some of McCain’s former aides who signed the letter include Mark Salter, the senator's onetime chief of staff; Christian Ferry, who was deputy manager for McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign; Joe Donoghue, who was McCain's legislative director; and Mike Murphy, a GOP political consultant who was a strategist on McCain’s 2000 presidential campaign.

Oh, you saw that too.

But we are told there is no “Deep State” and McCain actually campaigned effectively and enthusiastically against Obama in 2008.

All seems to be the deep state agents. Their plushy jobs in trouble, they are not happy with Trump sending power back to the people! The swamp is thicker than anybody could imagine.

"Seems all the dominos are falling into place.
They officially outed themselves"

Hundreds of paid staffers who were never going to get jobs in a Trump administration are now applying for employment in Biden's.

Politics is their profession, they don't care who they work for.
Swamp critters gotta eat too!

Biden is not the only one who needs the Presidency to hide his abuse of power while holding office. But of those, he is the only person running for President.

I also read somewhere yesterday that hundreds of former members of the Bush administration have come out in support of Trump. However, it wasn’t on CNN or MSNBC or any other leftwing news outlet.

You have to be a pure scumbag to inflict Biden and the communists on this country. You have to be a pure scumbag to inflict Biden and the communists on this country.


These people care more about the deep state perks than they care for their country.

The Enemies of ‘We The People’ keep revealing themselves. They are part of the coup to Fundamentally Transform America into a Marxist Commie Dystopia. They have joined forces with Evil.. There could be no other explanation.. The Full Truth is yet to come. We Will Prevail!!

Deep State feculence alert.

Somewhere in Hell, Strawberries McCain licks the Devil’s balls every morning before eating a bowl of his own poo for breakfast.

Alas, poor Johnny. Fear not. Romney thinks he’s getting his own planet with a bevy of broads after his death, but he’s more than likely to be your cellmate when the time comes.

No more proof needed of the reality of the Deep Sate than this exodus from the Good Ship GOP. It’s fun watching the rats swim over to the Demokrat Titanic after it’s already collided with the Trump iceberg

And those two sad facts are correct:

More people will follow Katy Perry or Taylor Swift or Oprah into the voting booth (by the millions!) than would ever recognize these “professionals” insiders.
And (2), these insiders were against America their entire time in the Bush administration, McCain campaign, Romney campaign, and now both Trump campaigns
