Hillary Clinton highlights the ‘gracious’ letter the last losing Republican president wrote to his successor.

Providing another example of how President Trump’s reaction to his election loss differs from other presidents’, Hillary Clinton on Tuesday posted a letter that an outgoing president, George H.W. Bush, wrote to an incoming one, Bill Clinton, in 1993.

“You will be our president when you read this note,” Mr. Bush, a Republican and the last incumbent to lose re-election, wrote to Mr. Clinton, his Democratic successor, on Inauguration Day. “Your success is now our country’s success. I am rooting hard for you. Good luck.”

“Here’s how it’s done in America,” Mrs. Clinton wrote on Instagram, describing the letter as “gracious.”

4. I wouldn't say Bush was honorable,

he just knew how to act like it and how to behave in public.

3. That was before Rush and Newt made "being a condescending prick" a Republican value.

a very poignant relationship

6. I can't see trump hanging out with these guys

They seem to enjoy each others’ company, each man has a good sense of humor, intelligence, and empathy.
And I doubt they want him.

7. I can't see him being invited to hang out with those guys.
