Well, at least John Ellis Bush voted for the Republican nominee. He promised his support and even attache dhis signature to it!

[GunsareOK]

Buck the Fushes. All of ‘em.

[Kalamata]

Amen.

Former Presidents Bush: poster children for the GOP Leftist Light.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Both Bushes left the nation in a mess.

Worse with W. He gave us Hussein and a DEM supermajority in Congress.

Who cares if they voted for Trump? Just more Republican establishment types.

It’s amazing the sense of entitlement and arrogance that both the Bush and Clinton families have in regards to the Office of the Presidency. Both families feel that it is “their office” and no one else should be President. That’s really coming out now. I doubt that either family will ever get over election night.

It’s really shocking and beyond the pale. Thank God that the right-minded American voting public knew better and put a stop to all of this. God bless President Trump.

[Innovative]

It’s a disgrace.

I voted for him both times. My dad didn’t and said he could never trust the Bush family after “Poppy” Bush made the New World Order speech and proved himself a Marxist. He said back in 2000 that the Bush’s were no better than Rats. My dad was right, I was wrong.

In 2000 I took to the streets, during the hanging chad recount, holding pro-Bush signs I made. I am embarrassed by my past behavior. Little did I know at that time that Gore and Bush were one and the same. We were young, deluded fools.

Former President George W. Bush and his father, former President George H.W. Bush, both criticize President Trump in a new book to be released this month, with George W. Bush admitting that, despite Trump’s political affiliation, he’s worried “that I will be the last Republican president.”

Both men led a failed failed presidency.  G. H. W. Bush was booted after one term, for a man with zero character.  He couldn't convert for the second term.  That's a massive fail against the likes of Bill Clinton.  G. W. Bush walked out of the White House at the end of his presidency, leaving behind very few jobs created under his term in office.  He also left the nation on the verge of economic ruin.  Not since the Great Depression had our nation been in such dire straights.  The national debt went up aroun 90% on his eight year watch.

Ronald Wilson Reagan was the last true Republican in the White House, but that fails to address the truth that the Republicans of the day weren't fully supportive of him.

Trump is the closest to holding true Republican ideals since President Reagan.  In some ways, he's actually approaching being better than Reagan.  I don't say that to denigrate Reagan in any way.  I love the man.  He turned this nation around in another time of desparity, following on Carter.  I will always hold him in very high esteem.

Neither G. H. W. Bush or G. W. Bush were true Republicans.  They were moderates.  Translated, that means a warmed over Leftist.  They pretended to be Republicans, and a lot of people fell for it.

Let's recall, neither of these men had word one to say about Clinton or Obama.  G. W. thought so highly of Bill Clinton that he appointed him to a lead position in the Indian Ocean Tsunami relief effort, in effect rehabbing his character in public.  He thought so highly of Obama, that he never found one thing to criticize, or if he did, it was done in such a manner as to have been almost invisible to the public.  None the less, both these men are plenty happy to attack Trump at will.  This is breathtakingly ill advised, and despicable.

George H.W. Bush also calls Trump a “blowhard” in the book, “The Last Republicans,” by Mark K. Updegrove, which was previewed by The New York Times and CNN on Friday.  "I don't like him. I don't know much about him, but I know he's a blowhard. And I'm not too excited about him being a leader,” the senior Bush said, according to the author. He also commented on Trump’s “ego.”

G. H. W. Bush, knows nothing about Trump, but he's sure he's an egotistical blowhard.  This from a guy that couldn't find anything wrong with Bill Clinton when running against him in 1992.  Egotistical?  Blowhard?  Why certainly not Clinton.  LOL   I am willing to grant G. H. W. some grace for his words, seeing as how he is so old and I think over the edge into non-reality.  As for G. W., not a chance.

“Wow, this guy doesn't know what it means to be president,” the younger Bush said. He indicated that a president should not “exploit the anger, incite it” but rather “come up with ideas to deal with it.”

How can G. W. say this, knowing what Obama did along the same lines?  How can he say it in light of what is said in the very next paragraph?  Where is reality in any of this?  This stuff is just unhinged.

Neither man voted for Trump in the last election, and George H.W. Bush confirms in the book that he voted for Hillary Clinton. George W. Bush said he left the top of his ballot blank and did not vote for Clinton because she has “bad judgment.”

I hope all the FReepers who trashed me for not backing the best Conservative president we every had, are reading this.  I've actually had some of them tell me G. W. Bush was a better president than Reagan.  G. W. was never a Conservative, and now it's clear he is barely a Republican.  Still, he's "CONCERNED!".  Incredible!

The White House on Saturday responded to the criticism revealed in the new book.

"The American people voted to elect an outsider who is capable of implementing real, positive, and needed change - instead of a lifelong politician beholden to special interests," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement. "If they were interested in continuing decades of costly mistakes, another establishment politician more concerned with putting politics over people would have won.”

Exactly!

Pop and Poopie are a disgrace to the cause...

Remember when former presidents had enough class to STFU?

[Jacob Kell]

At least Dubya didn’t vote for the Wicked Witch of Chappaqua.

Both men are despicable traitors. W is worse because he started a war with Iraq for the sole reason that Saddam plotted to kill his father. In the end H.W. has done far more damage to the U.S. than Saddam ever dreamed to do.

I guess they must have forgotten where their polling place was ...

[headstamp 2]

No surprise from a corporate liberal.

[Ann Archy]

[PhiloBedo]
