WASHINGTON, June 23 (UPI) -- Brent Scowcroft, former national security adviser for Republican Presidents Gerald Ford and George H.W. Bush, has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.

Scowcroft, 91, released a statement laying out his official endorsement Wednesday.

"Secretary Clinton shares my belief that America must remain the world's indispensable leader," Scowcroft said, praising her experience as secretary of state. "She understands that our leadership and engagement beyond our borders makes the world, and therefore the United States, more secure and prosperous. She appreciates that it is essential to maintain our strong military advantage, but that force must only be used as a last resort."

The presumptive Democratic nominee "brings deep expertise in international affairs, and a sophisticated understanding of the world," elements Scowcroft said were "essential for the commander-in-chief."

We were suckered into this by the GOPe. While their fake talk show hosts/DC pundits were firing us up about bs while they raped and pillage our country and the average working American with their open borders agendas.

We fought wars for the Saudis and lost good Americans and expended our $’s for nothing.

The reason, they hate Trump is how he is exposing them and outing them on a regular basis.

Again, George HW Bush was Reagans' worst mistake.

He wasn't given any choice on it by the Republican Party - and it almost cost him his life.

Neil Bush set to dine with Hinckley's brother the night of the hit a coincidence? Not likely.

the stupid party being stupid again.

every one of these “endorsements” shows me just how much contempt the GOPe has for the rank and file republican voter, not to mention the rank and file conservative republican voter.

a pox on all of their houses.

91 years old, how much mental capacity does he have left?

Don’t know how much age has to do with his mental status, but he is an established globalist for sure, you know, glass scull and all

The elites continue to work against America and Americans. It was a dark day. When Regan selected Bush it was a dark day.
