Papa Bush says he will vote for Hillary

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by uppityperson (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Former President George H.W. Bush said Monday that he will vote for Hillary Clinton in November, according to sources close to the 41st President -- an extraordinary rebuke of his own party's nominee.
