I'm hoping that GWB will ultimately decide to come out in support. I'm not counting on it, but hoping doesn't hurt. Jmb 4 Harris-Walz Oct 2024 #4

But you know what? All the better.

Dubya is the only president who could dispute Cheeto for the title of "worst in U.S. history."

He made even Buchanan, Harding and Hoover look competent by comparison.

The "ruling class" which struggles against each other for power and control) has its own communication style and standards. What they say and do has leverage and meanings that convey one thing to some, and quite another thing to others, but that meaning may be lost on the rest of us if it is taken at face value.

I suspect this announcement was vetted and approved and quite possibly telegraphs that W supports Kamala.

That said, I'm not discounting the outside possibility of Barbara's voice being free. That would be a wonderful thing.

Regardless, celebrate--they're on our side!
