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.

There can’t be more than five percent of the GOP electorate that supports these fools and their globalist wing of the party. Do they really think when Trump leaves the scene they’ll regain dominance again? That ship has sailed!
Never heard of them, but good riddance anyway!!!!
They are such WINNERS, AREN’T THEY???
The Deep State...aka, The Swamp is revealing itself more and more everyday.
Please tell me why in 25 words or fewer.
Globalist parasites hoping to bleed America dry. Sellouts one and all
Just a bunch of government tit sucker
It’s no surprise that aides to RINOs like the Bushes, McCain and Romney support Biden.
But former aides to Trump support Biden as well - perhaps even current aides. Not as many and not as vocal perhaps but they exist.
The swamp is deep and even Trump can’t drain it yet I appreciate the efforts.
So...
Good question.
Might be because leftist propagandists post leftist propaganda.
Time was when George Bush was practically WORSHIPPED by most Freepers
Anyone who strongly criticized his policies - particularly his invasion of Iraq - was guaranteed to get flamed and risked getting banned.
Sure, the swampy, globalist, China loving neocons pipe up for Biden. So what?
Don't forget your Mittens!
Sad to say I despise the Bush family at this point.
It would be news only if they had supported Trump during 2016. I doubt that they did so this is a non-event.
Keep a list of the names.
Never forget.
