"Former President George W. Bush and Senator Mitt Romney won’t support Mr. Trump’s re-election, and other G.O.P. officials are mulling a vote for Joe Biden.

Former President George W. Bush won’t support the re-election of Mr. Trump, and Jeb Bush isn’t sure how he’ll vote, say people familiar with their thinking. Senator Mitt Romney of Utah won’t back Mr. Trump and is deliberating whether to again write in his wife, Ann, or cast another ballot this November. And Cindy McCain, the widow of Senator John McCain, is almost certain to support Mr. Biden but is unsure how public to be about it because one of her sons is eying a run for office.

None of them voted for Mr. Trump in 2016, but the reproach of big Republican names carries a different weight when an incumbent president and his shared agenda with Senate leaders are on the line.

Former Republican leaders like the former Speakers Paul D. Ryan and John A. Boehner won’t say how they will vote, and some Republicans who are already disinclined to support Mr. Trump are weighing whether to go beyond backing a third-party contender to openly endorse Mr. Biden. Retired military leaders, who have guarded their private political views, are increasingly voicing their unease about the president’s leadership but are unsure whether to embrace his opponent."

1. nice, but Dubya can still go fuck himself

warmongering piece of shit

[MissB]

3. Well put.

[jrthin]

4. Eloquently stated.

[LisaM]

6. He needs to apologize for 2000

And his horrible Supreme Court

[Ferrets are Cool]

9. No, he needs to be in prison for war crimes nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. Lying us into a war based on faked evidence and hundreds

of thousands of humans died, is indeed a war crime of the highest magnitude. And relying on Cheney's brain... Huge mistake.

[Ferrets are Cool]

38. You left out torture.

[Skittles]

10. he is a sociopath

he will never apologize

[PTWB]

13. Roberts has helped us a few times even if he's generally been a conservative shitbag.

[Polybius]

18. He's still helping us here and there

He did again last week, in a 5-4 decision.

[Polybius]

17. That Supreme Court in 2000 wasn't his fault

The notorious 5 of that December, 2000 decision were appointed by Nixon (Rehnquist), Reagan (O'Connor, Scalia, and Kennedy), and Poppy Bush (Thomas).

[LisaM]

20. No, but the one that gave us Citizens United is.

And if he had any integrity, he would have asked Scalia and Thomas, at the least, to recuse themselves.

[rockfordfile]

12. I agree

[Aristus]

19. A-fucking-men, Skittles.

We haven't forgotten. He and his professional rehabilitators can all go fuck themselves for trying to make us forget all the rotten things he did in his eight years.

I don't fault Michelle Obama for getting chummy with him; she's a class act.

But everyone else trying to make it seem as if Dubya's administration was a lost dream of rational governance and peerless leadership can fuck right off...

[Skittles]

29. whenever I see those commericals for wounded soldiers

seeing those young guys, having to struggle with disabilities for the rest of their lives while that lying dirtbag Dubya PAINTS for fun, UGH, he should be hiding in UTTER SHAME

[wnylib]

21. Ditto

[not fooled]

24. ++++++++++

we remember.

[Martin Eden]

37. "I'd tell you to go fuck yourself, but that is much too kind"

Poem I wrote for GW when he left office:


I'd tell you to go fuck yourself
But that is much too kind
If you could perform that feat
You'd take pleasure in your behind

I'd like to say eat shit and die
But you deserve much more
You should suffer all the grief and pain
Of your misbegotten war

Though I can never make you think
Or feel, or understand
I'll take solace when you hear your name
Cursed throughout the land

From inside a lonely prison cell
Dark and bare and cold
Where every day you pay for your crimes
Until you're sick, heartbroken, and old

When you finally leave the earth
You fucked over oh so well
If there is a God and afterlife
You're going straight to hell.

[Renew Deal]

2. Imagine Bush campaigns for/with Biden in Texas

that would be something, though it would probably piss off too many people.

[Hoyt]

5. George war bush can't change what he did, but I welcome his vote and criticism.

[SamKnause]

7. Fuck you !!!

You and your administration should be sharing a cell with Trump and his administration.

It is sad that there is no accountability for the leaders of this country.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

8. Okay, but will he encourage people to vote for

the Democrat running? Because if he doesn't, his not supporting Trump's re-election doesn't mean shit.

[SunSeeker]

14. Steve Schmidt basically said the same thing about Murkowski.

He basically said nobody should be waivering over whether to vote for Trump or Biden, that everyone should vote for Biden. It is not even a close call as to which is the better choice.

[crickets]

16. There you go. 👆👆👆

[BigmanPigman]

22. Exactly!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. Huge

[BigmanPigman]

23. Does he still have any clout in TX?

If he were to endorse Biden would anyone in TX care?

[Demovictory9]

25. good. now return to the dustbin of history

[LuckyLib]

26. What a bunch of weasels. Write in his wife? Not sure?

Please, somebody in the Repug party, get a backbone! How whacked out does a President have to be before you stand up?

[C Moon]

27. I don't believe them. When push comes to shove

you'll hold your nose and vote for the Republican.

[ecstatic]

28. It's trump or Biden. That's the choice. I'm so

sick of republican corruption and stupidity.

[Kaleva]

30. I reserve my contempt for the "liberals" who didn't vote or voted 3rd party in '16

and the ones who are unsure of supporting Biden this year.

[redstatebluegirl]

33. Me too!

[theaocp]

35. How nice.

You could stay focused on using and disposing W, but YMMV.

[Kaleva]

39. Bush wouldn't have won if the scumbags who call themselves liberals had voted

or not voted for Nader. Fuck those piles of worthless shit.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

31. Much easier to say when you're retired from politics, filthy rich and.....

protected to the hilt by Secret Service.

I'm perfectly happy if they just stay at home in their gated community and don't vote......

[Norbert]

32. So a sitting president has no support from any living presidents

Has this ever happened before?

[EarthFirst]

34. Dang. When you lose the war criminal vote...

I’ll believe it when I see it.

[theaocp]

36. Fucking nepotism.

And Cindy McCain, the widow of Senator John McCain, is almost certain to support Mr. Biden but is unsure how public to be about it because one of her sons is eying a run for office.

In these times, you could just run on being a decent human being and that would eclipse voting for a Democrat. My favorite phrase to say during March - May was, "I don't know." It worked in many circumstances and I found it leaving my lips an uncomfortable number of times. This pattern has shifted and now I find myself saying all the time, "How hard is this?" These "wavering" nincompoops need to ask themselves that and simplify their approach. This is not difficult, but they bend themselves into knots to show how they feel it is. Jesu.
