Would an Endorsement by Laura Bush Seal the Deal for Hillary Clinton?
Observer ^ | November 6, 2016 | John A. Tures

Posted on 11/07/2016 8:32:26 AM PST by kevcol

When Donald Trump destroyed and derided Bush Family heir-apparent, Jeb “Low Energy” Bush, in the GOP primaries in 2016, eyes turned toward the dynastic Republican family in Texas. Would the Bushes cross party lines to back Hillary Clinton or stick with the Republican standard-bearer?

In September, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend revealed that George H. W. Bush said he would vote for Clinton, which the former president’s spokesperson later confirmed. His son, President George W. Bush, noticeably refused to endorse Trump, but his nephew George P. Bush, the Texas Land Commissioner, last week let it slip that his uncle may vote for Hillary Clinton as well.

I have nothing but disdain for the RINO Bush family. They are the epitome of back stabbing Pubbie elitist scum.

And to think I will be asked to contribute to the Bush Library by Laura, herself.

This election closed my pocketbook to the likes of them!

An early backer of George McGovern in 1972, I thought Laura had already embraced Mrs. Bill. Only the nephew is nominally for Trump.

In that whole bunch Yaelle, I kinda’ think Laura is the only decent one. I don’t think she will announce who she is voting for, and I suspect she would vote for Trump. But maybe I think that because she was such an admirable first lady, and find it hard to think ill of her.

No being tied to the Bush family will not help Clinton

That will do it for me. I will vote 20 times for Hillary and I’ll write in Jeb a few times for good measure! /s

It might get her invited to the next spirit cooking - if she hasn’t already been attending

And Laura, bring the granddaughters for extra entertainment - the hot tub will be ready

THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER BUSH IN PUBLIC OFFICE.

We can only hope. George is already a state office holder in Texas and plans to run for governor in the future following in his uncle's footsteps. He spent a LOT of time campaigning for his father Jeb while on the Texas taxpayers dime.

I have always liked (yet not been enamored) with Dr. Savage.
It appears he has been MUCH more correct than most conservative radio broadcasters.

We now know that Bob Dole was far superior to GHWB.

an endorsement by Laura Bush would result, maybe, in one vote for HilLIARy

Think the Bernie Sanders crowd is going to take such an endorsement in their stride? The people who really believe the worst rhetoric about the Bushes? Can’t think of a better way to drive them away from Hillary’s camp.

How many times is this going to be run without a shred of evidence? Not one of these people have come forward and said this from their own mouth; all here say squabble like most reporting today!

Well because so and so said it and I saw it on FB, Twitter and an obscure website, well damnitt it must be true!

So tired of rumor reporting.

Take off the rose colored glasses.
Those 30 million illegal aliens are here because of the Bush family.
They do not want us to send them home.

No. It would just be further validation for what most people have been thinking about the Bush family for a long time.
