Former President George H.W. Bush is bucking his party’s presidential nominee and plans to vote for Hillary Clinton in November, according to a member of another famous political family, the Kennedys.
Bush, 92, had intended to stay silent on the White House race between Clinton and Donald Trump, a sign in and of itself of his distaste for the GOP nominee. But his preference for the wife of his own successor, President Bill Clinton, nonetheless became known to a wider audience thanks to Kathleen Hartington Kennedy Townsend, the former Maryland lieutenant governor and daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy.
On Monday, Townsend posted a picture on her Facebook page shaking hands next to the former president and this caption: “The President told me he’s voting for Hillary!!”

Is anybody really surprised? The entire Bush family rushed to rehabilitate Bill and Hillary’s reputations after they left the White House in 2001 and lent considerable financial muscle to the launches of the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative. GW Bush calls Bill “his brother from another mother”. I bet that the entire Bush family votes for Hillary.
You can't possibly believe Hillary is the better choice for this nation.
He’s trashing his own legacy.
The strength and pervasiveness of the long term push to Globalism on the part of the elites has been exposed and the Bush family actions during this election campaign has uncovered their contributions toward that end. I no longer have any respect left for them.
F'n elites. F'm all. So tired of the Bush-Clinton dynasty.
We need to stop acting surprised: The Political elites who dream of a One World Govt. are seeing their extinction on the horizon....of course he’s voting Hillary.

Great. Now the Bush family is hated by Republicans just as mush as it is by Democrats.
Kathleen Hartington Kennedy Townsend, the former Maryland lieutenant governor and daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy said he told her he was voting for Hillary.
1. I wonder if Pres. H. Bush knows what he says?
2. I don’t think I would believe anything she would say.
The Bush’s and their compassionate conservatism is horse poo.
They come off as “conservatives”.
Crappola.liars just like Hillary.
Please just go the hell away.
These guys never represented the middle class. They consider themselves to be tbe Republican Kennedys, and part of the ‘ruling elite’, they were ‘faux-conservatives’ and this proves it.
Bush-PeRino wing of the Republican Party is going to vote for Hillary. What a shocker.....
Who really cares. The family is dead politically.
George begin his career of covering up with the JFK assasination. We never were able to know what really happened.
Is anyone really surprised?
Bill is his “son by another mother.”
The only one he might’ve voted for over Hillary was Jeb! and I’m pretty sure he was running just to throw the election to her,
Nah. Keep this one, that’s in the blogger ghetto memory hole
Can there be any more solid proof that America is ruled by ONE party?
G.H.W.Bush is simply staying true to voting for his party’s candidate.
Exactly right.
