Brent Scowcroft, the national security advisor to President George H.W. Bush and one of the leading figures of the Republican national security establishment, endorsed Hillary Clinton for president Wednesday.
The endorsement is the most high-profile indication yet of the depth of discomfort that Republican foreign policy figures feel about Donald Trump as their party's nominee.
The Clinton campaign sees doubts about Trump's ability to handle foreign policy as a major plus for their side. Endorsements by well-known Republican foreign policy figures could add to her advantage on that front.
"The presidency requires the judgment and knowledge to make tough calls under pressure," Scowcroft said in a statement in which he did not mention Trump's name. Clinton "has the wisdom and experience to lead our country at this critical time."
Scowcroft, 91, served in senior positions under Presidents Ford and Reagan, in addition to his post in the first President Bush's White House. He served as an informal advisor to President George W. Bush, although his public warnings against going to war in Iraq distanced him from the administration.

The dottering fool is embarrassed by dementia.
The “neoconservative” @ssholes in the GOP prefer Hillary Clinton because she has spend more than two decades proving that she’s easily bought — especially by foreign money.
Waiting for the titular head of the gop, Mr. Colin Powell to announce who he supports. Elected Republicans should come out front.
Scowcroft, 91
Endorsed or coerced?
—
That’s what I thought. He’s probably got some bratty grandchildren that coerced him. That or he’s lost his mind completely.
Scowcroft stabbed W Bush in the back all 8 years he was in office.
There is something wrong with this guy.
"Did I do okay, B-O?" "Yes, you've done very well, B-S!" |
No....he’s not a commie....he’s just a Saudi-backer. Most of the folks on the Bush team were all bought off by the Saudis. Hillary is a Saudi-backed individual as well, so it does make sense that he’d go with her.
Who friggin’ cares???? I thought the old fart was dead anyway........;)
Scowcroft is Iran’s and Sadam’s guardian angel... was deeply embedded in the Nigergate-PlameNameGame affair.
Scowcroft must be 150 years old these days. With his bud Assh Carter and Mr. Globalist Henry where Scowcroft was being honored at the National Defense University Foundation 3 years ago.
NWO ‘poppy’ bush ilk, still clutching for power here, reaching to be relevant and acceptable to its evil obama god, and all the MSM said amen,
This is principality and powers and spiritual wickedness operating in high places, this is how they work and how they coerce and have authority,
WTF is he talking about. Clinton/Obama have led to a disaster. ISIS is their property, that JV team which is murdering Americans, murdering Europeans, burning Christians alive stoning homosexuals and selling women into sexual slavery is Obama’s and Hillary’s fault. Libya is theirs, and the total loss of Afghanistan is soon to be theirs. They have allowed ISIS terrorists to infiltrate America. She sold her office to the highest bidder - giving uranium to Russia while mining execs gave $145 million to the Clinton Global Initiative. Iran is getting nukes and funding terrorists with the money Hill/Obama gave them. Russia is spitting in our faces and taking eastern Europe. China has militarized and threatened all of South Asia because Obama/Hillary were weak. Hillary put thousands of top secret emails on an unprotected server showing utter contempt for the safety and security of our nation. Tell me where the good news is.
This Trump Derangement Syndrome is dangerous for this country. Scowcroft hates Trump and will drive off the cliff rather than see him as president.
He is 91, perhaps he is losing his mind or perhaps he is a globalist neocon (Democrat) like the Bushes.
The only people Bush surrounded himself w/were assorted horses asses; just like this schmuck.
Who besides Mrs. Brent would be influenced by this endorsement in how they vote? I don’t think his name rolls off the tongues of the millennials.
USA is being sold out quite similar to what’s happened to UK
I am so glad my remaining time is short
it is so very painful to have to watch the deliberate destruction of one of the best nations that human beings ever built
Scowcroft has been a Saudi-paid whore since he left government.
Brent has always been a fool
