Bush 41, 43 Won’t Be Endorsing Trump
Outside the Beltway ^ | May 5, 2016 | Doug Mataconis

Posted on 05/05/2016 8:25:57 AM PDT by detective

The only two living Republican former Presidents have no plan to endorse Donald Trump:

For the first time since his own presidency, George H.W. Bush is planning to stay silent in the race for the Oval Office — and the younger former president Bush plans to stay silent as well.

Bush 41, who enthusiastically endorsed every Republican nominee for the last five election cycles, will stay out of the campaign process this time. He does not have plans to endorse presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump, spokesman Jim McGrath told The Texas Tribune.

FR supported Mr. Bush.

In return, he helped
Saudi Arabia after the 911 Atrocities,
and now this.

Bush I, who trashed the Reagan revolution with his kinder socialism and his assh##e son.

Hopefully we wouldn’t hear from them again.

BTW- they endorsed the last 5 loosers, so this is a great sign for us.

Their non endorsement is actually the best endorsement he could get from those two!

W FAILED to uphold, protect, and defend the Constitution from a KNOWN Foreigner taking the executive office! He is a traitor, and continues to be one till this day!

Always have liked GW, he is a good man, and a loyal brother, the Donald put the screws to Jeb pretty good, and in the end GW tried to help Jeb, but it was too late.

I think family loyalty, and the fact that if they neither endorse or condemn Trump, they only lead to speculation about their true feelings.

The only thing they are doing is NOT tipping their hand.

I can live with that all day long.

The Bushes have revealed to the world exactly what they are.

We who once praised them now recoil in disgust.

What does it say about the Bushs that the people they supposedly represented made their choice and the Bushs disagree to the point that they’d throw us to the enemy if they could?

Did we the people ever matter to them? Did the US of A ever matter to them? Or was this just a game of power...

Considering that probably the number one reason Trump ran in the first place was to deny the nomination to Jeb, it isn’t surprising. The Bush monarchy is done.

They’re major globalists that have worked towards a one world government and have no problem with the destruction of the US as we know it.

I would be suspicious if they had endorsed him.

Boiling this down, I truly think the Elitists will work against Trump for one big reason....Illegal Immigration.

Watch the VP process for confirmation. People who claim not to want a VP slot are likely Amnesty supporters (Cheap Labor).

43’s wife and daughters already stated they would vote for HRC. I pray for the day this country moves past the destructive policies of the Bushes, Clintons, and Obamas.

The Bush cartel can sit out every election from now until eternity AFAIC. Good riddance.

I don’t criticize the father he’s feeble and it’s loyalty to Jeb. W is being an ahole.
