Why doesn't Hillarys campaign mention the Bush family.

I find it amazing that the Gop nominee has not been endorsed by Poppy, W, or Jeb.
In fact, none of the three plan to go to the convention in Clevekand.

Why is that not a huge story?
Yes, Trump eviscerated both W and Jeb during the primary.
I can see why they both hate him.
But, hey Christie and Rubio and Ryan have caved in.

I think Hillarys campaign should make a huge deal out of the fact that the last two gop prez will not endorse Trump or go to his convention.
It is truly historic and should convince some moderate non crazy Repubs that Trump is not worthy of their vote.

Are somewhat out of favor among GOPers now. Just look at how Jeb did in their primary.

the Dems just lump them all together. If they started naming names, they'd have to read off a freaking scroll.
