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.

I’m sure Limbaugh will be touting this as proof positive Trump was the “wrong choice.”

Rush loves “Compassionate Conservatives”! :-D

This is the best news I’ve heard in 10 years.

Seriously.

That’s how we know we’ve chosen the right nominee.

That’ll be a couple-three million more votes for Trump!

As Trump moves to the left to pick up democratic voters, I wouldn't be surprised if he suggested that both Bushes should be given up to the world court to be tried for war crimes.

If he did this, as well as announce that BHO would be arrested for conspiracy to treason if he failed to prosecute and/or pardoned Hillary, then he'd blow the lid off the entire election.

They would have supported Ted Cruz, though. After all, Neil Bush was part of his campaign. What does that tell us?

To begin with, Bush 41 and 43 played a big part in creating the opportunity for Obama to be president.
The actions of all three have indirectly and directly led to the need for a president who will put America back on the right track:

Bush 41:

Said “Read my lips: no new taxes” then he raised taxes.

Allowed Ambassador April Glaspie to assure Saddam Hussein that America had no opinion on his dispute with Kuwait
and that the Kuwait issue is not associated with America.
So Hussein proceeded to invade Kuwait.

That touched off the entire series of events that has lead to 26 years of turmoil and violence in the mid-east, trillions of American dollars wasted,
thousands and thousands of Americans KIA and WIA, the 9/11 attacks and the rise of ISIS.

Bush 43:

Was given money to build a border wall but wasted it on a failed ‘virtual wall’.

Passed “Ted Kennedy’s “No Child Left Behind” into law

Created the Homeland Security department that Obama uses against patriotic Americans.

Classified parts of the 9/11 report to protect his Saudi Arabian friends who were involved in the attack

Attacked Iran in retaliation for the 9/11 attacks when it was Saudi Arabians, not Sadaam Hussein and the Iranians,
who financed, planned and carried out the sneak attack on America.

Well. That’s the end of signed loyalty pledges.

All about their ego, and 43’s nation building mess in the Middle East. They don’t like being exposed. And of course the slow brother’s crash, little Jeb.

Since Bush I and Bush II helped drive the nation into the ground in preparation for the arrival of the Kenyan Prince, who would be surprised?

Invading Iraq and taking out the only force protecting Jews and Christians was an idea spawned in hell.

Piss off, Bushes!

If anyone had any doubts these Bushes are globalists, this should dispel them.

Any bit of respect I had for the Bush men is gone now.

The quality of their stupidity is of the highest order.

Indeed, and I suspect both will vote for Hillary.
