1. Ain't this rich?

[TheBlackAdder]

21. Ronald Reagan would have voted for HRC too. Shrub on the other hand, rebels against daddy, still.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

22. Has W said he is supporting Trump? n/t

[anamandujano]

26. I'm pretty sure I read here at DU that W is not supporting Trump.

I also think I read that he is both supporting and voting for Hillary.

[oasis]

2. Why does Bush 41 hate America?

[doc03]

3. I will take that but I am not sure I would want W on my side. nt

[Demsrule86]

18. A vote is a vote.

Stop Trump...I will take the votes.

[MFM008]

4. I guess the maggot

Will have to deal with a bad news cycle on this one.
X PRESIDENT votes for the wife of the guy who BEAT him.

5. Name calling GHWB in 5,4,3,2...

What's it gonna be this time Donnie... Poopie Poppie?

[helpisontheway]

6. I bet Joe Scarborough will ignore this story tomorrow. Nt

[HipChick]

8. Of course, he's too busy meeting and sucking up to Trump for an interview..

[alcibiades_mystery]

7. GHWB doesn't abide trash like Trump

He's a Yaley for God's sake.

[MiniMe]

9. Doesn't surprise me at all. What surprises me is that it made it out to the press

[senseandsensibility]

10. Wow. Is Jeb far behind?

[radius777]

11. Poppy Bush was always a moderate Republican

at heart, who intitially criticized St. Ronnie's 'voodoo economics', and who was challenged from the right by Pat Buchanan, raised taxes, favored a safety net, etc.

It is rumored that the Bush women are pro-choice, pro-gay rights, etc and may even be Dems. In an interview a few months ago Laura Bush criticized Trump and (may have) implied that she would support Hillary.

[NYC Liberal]

19. And the Bush twins both suppprted Obama

[Coyotl]

12. At least Clinton isn't soiled by an endorsement from Bush the Lesser.

Which would likely really piss her off

[Stallion]

13. This Could Be First Major Shot in Republican Civil War

if it leads to an Avalanche of Republican endorsements of Clinton

If they lose this election it very well could lead to a irrevocable split in the Party

[crim son]

14. Ah, an optimist.

Something to dream about, isn't it?

[Dem2]

23. Hillary already has a ton of Republican endorsements

It just seems to make the fuctRump trolls even more determined!

[Stallion]

25. Yeah But the Shit Starts Flying the Day after The Election Defeat

both sides are seething quietly until then

[ffr]

15. Kathleen Hartington

The President told me he's voting for Hillary!


More republicans coming out to publicly endorse Hillary Clinton as their champion and future president.

[polynomial]

16. Fossil fuel or snake oil

This news is snake oil for the slippery slope in essence designed for those emotions portrayed daily on television. Carl Jung uses the term Godhead; we can infer that to or relate those embedded individual conservative control freaks that side line then ambushes the electorate psyche to collect the vote.

Some missed that phycology class called bate, and switch. Herbert Walker with his archetypes are posed to cease the moment. Making it appear as synchronicity again as Jung describes as what is called a meaningful coincidence to turn voters. Yet actually a hackneyed initiative lacking significance having been over used; unoriginal and trite. Herbert Walker is what the French call a bricoleur, loanword, likely another big bank deal is on the way. Herbert Walker does not show up for free.

17. This has not been mentioned on Morning Joe yet

Joe mentioned George HW Bush in regards to something else but not this story.

[rumdude]

20. Trump is a danger that goes beyond the old left/right divide

Any republican or conservative that comes out against Trump should be applauded. The old partisan hatreds/feuds need to be put aside in the face of Trump and what he represents.

[Dalziel3979]

24. He's the one who probably planted the idea for Trump running in the first place

Back when he considered asking him to be his VP running mate
