Hundreds of former aides to George W. Bush, John McCain endorse Biden for president

Several hundred former aides to President George W. Bush and Sen. John McCain announced Thursday that they are endorsing Joe Biden for president.

The statements of support for the Democratic nominee come as President Donald Trump prepares to accept his party's nomination on the final night of the Republican National Convention.

A political action committee, 43 Alumni for Biden, that launched last month posted a list of nearly 300 members of the Bush administration or campaigns who are publicly backing Biden. The names range from members of the Cabinet, including former Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez and former Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman, to ambassadors, to White House and advance staffers.

Meanwhile, more than 100 former staff of McCain's congressional offices and campaigns also endorsed Biden for president.

“Given the incumbent president’s lack of competent leadership, his efforts to aggravate rather than bridge divisions among Americans, and his failure to uphold American values, we believe the election of former Vice President Biden is clearly in the national interest,” they said in a letter.

Some of McCain’s former aides who signed the letter include Mark Salter, the senator's onetime chief of staff; Christian Ferry, who was deputy manager for McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign; Joe Donoghue, who was McCain's legislative director; and Mike Murphy, a GOP political consultant who was a strategist on McCain’s 2000 presidential campaign.

I would even go back as far to say that Ma Richards was a better Texas governor than W was.

She certainly got GHWB right when she said he was born with a silver foot in his mouth.

Recycled News! But nobody has noticed, apparently.

On July 1, the MSM was pushing the headline "Hundreds of former members of the George W Bush administration to endorse Joe Biden."

Their excuse to re-hash this 2-month-old headline once more as "something new" is that they can increase that total count by a bit by adding to it a number of McCain's staffers.

Trivia question: How many members of former President John McCain's administration are there total? I'll give you a few minutes to research it ....

Maybe one of the MSM's October Surprises will be to breathlessly announce, "100s of former members of GWB and GHWB's admins, and McCain's and Romney's campaigns to endorse Biden! Shocking! Who would have ever imagined?"

When Trump leaves, any of those sad sacks come slinking back, no vote from me. I’ll vote for third party or write someone in before I give a pass to another Bush league or McQueeg RINO.

Which came first the DLC or the deep state? The uniparty predates both I’d guess.

Print this up and get this out there in your precincts

There seems to be a refusal in certain political circles known as the Swamp to blame the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) for deliberately using the Wuhan virus to create an economy here which would prevent Trump get reelected. Letting that happen will create problems we don’t need. Time we point out the loss of employment and the corruption involved.

Thus making me feel embarrassed for supporting both Bush and McCain.

The only solace I have is that the DEMONcRATS they ran against were and remain pure Evil.

As if we didn’t know what type of people they were before
now. They were all some of the most vile people around.
Look at who they worked for.
