George W. Bush Didn't Vote for Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump
Fortune ^ | November 8, 2016 | Sarah Begley

Posted on 11/08/2016 2:16:29 PM PST by McGruff

George W. Bush and Laura Bush voted two weeks ago, but did not vote for either major party candidate, a spokesperson said.

In a statement to the Wall Street Journal, the spokesperson declined to say whether the former president and first lady had voted for a third-party candidate or whether they had written in another name. Although reports apparently erroneously claimed that the Bushes had voted for Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, the failure to vote for Republican nominee Donald Trump is in itself a major departure from political tradition.

Never another Bush. Not now, not 30 years from now. Not 100 years from now.

Disappointing. They should have known better.

Any Republican/conservative not voting or voting for third party is effectively helping Hillary win.

Not voting for Trump is the same as voting for Hillary in my book.

These POS politicians need to be rooted out of the party.

I hate them worse than I hate leftists.

I didn't vote for Bush, either time.

But, it was for the same reason Bush felt he could vote for a third party candidate: it wouldn't have any effect in my state. It's solid red.

So, I cast a protest vote against Bush.

Two votes in Texas for the hag does absolutely nothing.

Knowing about is quite useful.

I defended you George Bush, when you would not defend yourself.

Aren’t you something.

As did I. Heck, if I could go back in time, I'd have to hold my nose to vote for Bush in 2000 and 2004. The stench was not as noticeable then.

I enthusiastically voted for Trump.
And I held my nose and voted all Republican down ticket.

If Trump wins and then GOP helps him succeed, fine. If not, this will be the last election I ever vote for the damn GOP.

May the Bush seed be wiped from the face of the earth.

I can’t think of a single one of the I actually like.
