Former Bush Treasury secretary: 'I'll be voting for Hillary Clinton'(yet ANOTHER Bush crony!)

There goes another one.

Hank Paulson, chairman of the Paulson Institute and a former Treasury secretary in George W. Bush’s administration, will neither vote for Donald Trump in November nor abstain, he wrote in an op-ed published Friday in The Washington Post.

“I’ll be voting for Hillary Clinton with the hope that she can bring Americans together to do the things necessary to strengthen our economy, our environment and our place in the world,” Paulson wrote. “To my Republican friends: I know I’m not alone.”

Paulson is the latest George W. Bush administration official to not only reject the Republican Party’s presumptive presidential nominee, but to declare support for Clinton. Former Bush Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage told POLITICO last week he would vote for Clinton.

No. More. Bushies. Or as I call them, the “Dana PeRino Wing” of the Republican Party.

Clinton is so corrupt she employs thousands upon thousands of Washington elite hacks to run interference for her. An army of stonewallers. She is a one woman jobs program for Washington elites.

I was pleasantly surprised that Cheney and Rumsfeld have endorsed Trump.

Rummy was right about our ability to easily defeat Saddam’s armed forces, but seemed oblivious to the guerilla stage which was inevitably to follow.

I can understand that, as I too believed the risk-reward was there. I guess I drank GWB’s Kool-Aid that argued the Iraqi people could take a chance at freedom and make something of it.

Well, we were wrong about that. It turns out they were not worthy of liberty, a gift won for them by the blood and lives of thousands of American servicemen.

ALL of the Neo Cons will vote and advocate for Clinton.

She is one of them.

They were never conservatives and always statists.

Always.

You really wonder how they can say this stuff without a lightening bolt striking them dead.

Hank “ TARP” Paulson is an endorsement no one should want

Armitage is an arrogant prck who has brought our foreign policy failure to where if is today: in the toilet ... Who is Scooter Libby going to vote for?

Scowcroft is impressed with Hillary’s experience
It’s a good thing he wasn’t visiting Benghazi with the Ambassador

These guys all had their time in history to make history and look where we are today

Three fools who we thought were originally smart pro-America conservatives. Fooled us, they did, and Pres. Bush as well.

Armitage should be in jail for the Scooter Libby betrayal.
Scowcroft should be in exile for his stupid foreign policy programs.
Paulson should be in poverty for his often misguided financial policies, or even in jail if he was involved in the financial scandals and payoffs of the 2000’s.

Always a POS—Saved Goldman and made Bank of America, whose stock was owned by widows in every small town across the country, take the hit. He always was a Dem. So sorry that W. Bush EVER associated with such a worthless, self-serving JERK!

Wow, Trump cannot win this November. It was a good fight while it lasted, but these former Bush people will surely convince millions to vote for Hillary. All is lost!! /sarc

‘....with hope that she can bring Americans together....’

Are these people delusional? Mrs. Clinton, like Mr. Obama, continually pits people against each other. They pretend to be ‘uniters’ but, imho, their modus operandi is ‘divide and conquer’.

The endorsements of Hillary by these super rich elitists can be used by Trump if he is skillful at it - they don’t give a damn about the miners, farmers, factory workers and others who might vote Dem; they are happy to replace them with imported, low wage workers in contravention of our immigration laws so they can make a few cents more at the expense of the American middle class. Trump should do like FDR did with the plutocrats - “I welcome the hate of this bunch”.

They do realize that they are dead, politically, don’t they. No Democrat will ever trust them, and Republican (rank and file, anywat), will detest their treachery.

Trump should run an ad explaining Clinton’s ties to the Bushes, and why all the Bushites are supporting her.

Bush was a big believer in Chrislam... nowadays among the Left, even that is viewed as too “privileged” to be worthy of existence. For them, it is Marxslam or bust.
