George W. Bush...

[BWdem4life]

Your turn. It will never make up for your crimes, but it's a start... endorse Kamala now.

[Funtatlaguy]

1. Stick a mike in his face and make him say who

he’s voting for.
Shirley, there’s some kind of reporter near where he lives.

[bif]

16. Who's Shirley?

[Funtatlaguy]

21. Surely's sister. 👩

[SomedayKindaLove]

29. LaVern's good friend

[brush]

2. And Romney has to come out too.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

24. I think he did. He either said he's voting for Harris or not voting for Trump.

He may have not have endorsed her yet but he is definitely not a supporter.

[brush]

30. Good. I hadn't heard. He's the only other one besides the Cheneys and Kinzinger with some integrity.

[Walleye]

31. I think he said he would write in some other Republican. Which is the ultimate cop out in my opinion.

[andym]

3. If he's going to do it, wait for a week before the election

Have no idea if he will go against his party, but Chaney was very influential with him.

[Maru Kitteh]

12. I had a similar thought, but 3 weeks, to capture more early votes. nt

[GoreWon2000]

4. No forgetting his assault on democracy if Florida in 2000

bushthief's all out assault on American democracy in Florida in 2000 created the Presidential election theft road map that the orange turd is now using. It would be the height of hypocrisy for bushthief to attack the orange turd for using his Presidential election theft road map.

[orangecrush]

5. Are you saying

It would be better if he endorsed Trump?

Sorry, not following.

[GoreWon2000]

6. bushthief made it clear he didn't support democracy in 2000

Now all of a sudden you want bushthief to claim that he now supports democracy and won't vote for the orange turd who is using the bushthief Florida 2000 Presidential election theft road map. bushthief has no credibility on the issue of defending democracy because he did not defend it in 2000, he waged an all out assault against it.

[H2O Man]

10. Right.

First, the idea of saying "would it be better if he endorsed Trump?" reminds me of Rubin's saying those who have little to compare find little to understand. If one followed that path, we could imagine who we want Hitler to endorse? Cheney is close enought.

The best thing is if W just remains silent. Same with Cheney.

The worst thing is when Democrats think war criminal's endorsements are good.

[GoreWon2000]

14. Exactly

I'm not interested in the endorsement of any election stealing war criminals. They're the reason our country is in this mess. I'm not a fan of hypocrisy at its worst.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

25. A lot of Republicans still like him and a former President would be good/shocking.

[orangecrush]

11. You didn't answer my question

Are you saying it would be better if the Cheney's and Bush supported Trump?

The answer is yes or no.

[GoreWon2000]

13. They all hold the same far right, anti democracy views

I wouldn't be at all surprised if bushthief voted for the orange turd since they combined to stack the SCOTUS with enough judges to overturn Roe vs Wade, thye both support the Unitary executive theory and they both used the same election stealing road map. The Cheney's are total hypocrites. I think a case can be made that for them it's more about getting back at maga for ousting Liz from repug leadership and her Congressional seat. The Cheney's silence on the bushthief 2000 election theft has been deafening.

[orangecrush]

18. Still didn't answer the question

Yes or no.

Das Vidanya.

[GoreWon2000]

23. Yes,

bushthief should go with his real views which match up pretty well with the orange turd's anti-democracy, anti-women, anti-environment, anti-working people, etc.

[GoreWon2000]

17. You don't get the hypocrisy

of an election stealer now opposing an election stealer who's using the same election theft road map? I'm not a fan of such blatant hypocrisy.

[Kaleva]

7. I think him being friends with the Clinton's and Obama's might persuade him

[GoreWon2000]

15. An election stealer now opposing an election stealer?

That's hypocrisy at its worst.

[Kaleva]

19. And our former Dem Presidents are friends with one of them.

[GoreWon2000]

22. That bothers me too.

[Polybius]

8. He just said he won't

He said he's retired from politics.

[BWdem4life]

9. Closing the barn door

but the horse is long gone.

POS

[SomedayKindaLove]

32. Has he retired from being an American, too?

[Renew Deal]

20. Why would we want his endorsement?

He nominated Alito. Also, who would care about his endorsement? I don't think it would help.

[irisblue]

26. Is a war criminal.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

27. Jeb Bush came out against him.

[gab13by13]

28. He is a coward

[GoCubsGo]

33. His refusal to endorse the guy his own party is running speaks volumes, by itself.

And, I'm fine with that war criminal not getting his stench all over the Harris/Walz ticket. This is a win-win, as far as I'm concerned.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

34. Most people here do not get how Republicans think.

I unfortunately grew up in a family of rabid Republicans in an area that was solidly Republican and currently live in a Republican area in Florida. I know how they think. A Bush endorsement would be great. Jeb Bush came out against Trump so did Romney. Republicans like the status of being Republican - they think it makes them members of “the wealthy.” As horrible as it sounds, they think that Democrats are “low lives.” Most are racist. My mother (who would claim until her last day that she’s not racist) screamed at me when I voted for Gore “You’re voting with all those blacks and Hispanics!” That is how a lot of wealthy Republicans think. They like being a member of the Republican “Country Club.”

I’m sorry to be harsh - but you have to know the enemy to beat them.

Then there are the uneducated angry white men from rural areas who think it makes them masculine and macho.
