Former Top Bush Adviser Backs Hillary Clinton Over Donald Trump

[insta8er]

A top national security adviser to several former Republican presidents endorsed Hillary Clinton‘s presidential campaign on Wednesday, becoming one of the most prominent GOP figures to back the presumptive Democratic nominee over Donald Trump.

Brent Scowcroft offered a glowing endorsement of Clinton, saying that her lifetime experience in politics gives her a “truly unique experience and perspective” to “lead our country at this critical time.”

“She has spent her entire career in public service working to improve the lives of the American people, and helping the United States lead a more secure and peaceful world,” Scowcroft said in a statement.

Sowcroft, a retired Air Force general, served as National Security Adviser under Presidents Gerald Ford and George H.W. Bush. He also advised President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2005 and assisted President Obama in selecting his national security team. Scowcroft did not mention Trump in his endorsement.

1. Fuck Brent Scowcroft

Who gives a shit about these Republican douche bags.

I care what Democrats think, not some neocon asshole desperate for M$M attention.

[chillfactor]

3. I disagree...

the more republicans that endorse Hillary the better....you seem to be carrying way too much anger.....

4. He's an advisor to President Obama and assisted him with choosing his national security team.

He's also on the advisory board for NPR's America Abroad: http://www.npr.org/podcasts/381444268/pri-america-abroad

He was also one of the only Republicans consistently critical of the US policy toward Iraq, before and after the invasion.

He's not really some "neocon asshole".

8. So we're tooting a Right winger's horn at DU now just because he endorsed our candidate?

[TwilightZone]

9. Just admit that you knew nothing about the guy and move on.

[blackspade]

10. Oh, I give up...

So enjoy your back slapping over the endorsement of a warmongering Republican, friend of the Bushies, and lobbyist for the MIC.

7. blackspade-- I do not understand why anyone would be angry that a military advisor

endorses Hillary instead of Trump. Trump is spreading BS about Hillary/President Obama re. things like Benghazi. It is GOOD that a former general speaks out about this. HILLARY 2016

11. Good would be Wesley Clark

Snowcroft, not so much.

2. But she is being endorsed...so isn't that what counts? I mean she said she can reach across the aisl

e doesn't this show how well she is perceived on the other side? I mean this is good right?

[Andy823]

17. I am sure it will get even better

When Bernie endorses her also, wouldn't you agree. I mean the two of them working together to make sure Trump does not win will be priceless, a great thing right?

18. Trump does not stand a chance with what she has going on across the aisle, they will be able to

convince their voters that she is their choice to make things happen for them.

[Andy823]

19. But Bernie will be

The icing on the cake, it will show everyone that the party is united, and will stand together to fight Trump. I am sure you will follow his lead and help by supporting her also, right?

5. Obvious choice.

Trump IS terrorism.

[giftedgirl77]

6. Good, rational Republicans need someone to vote for

considering the hate-filled ignorant bigot running on their ticket.
