1. He'll never get my warm and fuzzies because he gave carte blanche to Lee Atwater

and created a monster. But the old man really was/is a better brand of Republican. You can always ask David Duke his opinion of Poppy for confirmation.

2. I detest all things

8. It's always worth noting how things have changed

No leading Republican would speak like that these days.

Of course, a not-so-small reason why he got to be President in the first place was his playing the race card via the Willie Horton ad. Classic whatever-it-takes behavior, but he did have a civilized streak and he wasn't afraid to show it. These days, hardly any Republicans even have that in them, and none have the guts to take a stand against ugliness.

9. Precisely

The dig whistles were OK - they just can't take Don the Con's vulgar approach to their similar thoughts

3. has Trump tweeted yet?

What nickname will he give Bush 41?

10. Loser???

4. Evil assholes have limits to their evil assholery. GHWB's is a Trump vote.

That should speak volumes to anyone with a connected brain stem.

5. I have thought for a while the Bushes may vote for Hillary, there are not a lot of saving

properties in Trump. It isn't always about party unity when there is a nominee such as Trump. In fact if Trump was the DNC nominee I would not be able to vote for the DNC nominee. I care a lot about my party but I also care about my country.

6. He wants his "son" back in the White House.

7. Aren't GHW Bush and Bill Clinton relatively close?

This does not surprise me as this Bush seems like he actually has respect for the office and wants a competent person as President.
