George W. Bush won't support reelection of Trump
Washington Examiner ^ | June 6, 2020 | Daniel Chaitin

Former President George W. Bush will not support President Trump in his effort to seek reelection this year.

People familiar with his thinking told the New York Times the 43rd president won't back his fellow Republican, who will likely face former Vice President Joe Biden in the general election.

Freddy Ford, a spokesman for Bush, said the former president plans to speak out only on policy issues.

Daddy Bush is, or was rather, the original deep state.

Did he support DJT in 2016? Not that I can recall...

Bush, 0bama, and Romney can all go pound sand with the other Democrats...

He would not have gotten the backing of the GOP without it. Globalist Bush was the concession. Unfortunate.

Trump tried the same with mainline GOPe Pence. Sadly, the GOP backstabbed him and continues to support the ongoing coup against POTUS.

So you’re saying I can be against two Clintons, two Bushes, two Obamas AND a Romney with just one vote? Where do I sign

So did I...the first time. Couldn't do it in O4. I never forgave him for the WMD lies and for the way he conducted the war on terror in general.

It was not a pleasant experience being on these boards and not supporting the Iraq War as well as not supporting the debacle in Afghanistan. I was called every name in the book and stayed off these boards for damn near 5 years. (It was in Obama's first year that I came back)

The Bush’s are in the one world government crowd. No surprise there.

Big deal, who cares? it was expected.
he never supported the election of President Trump. Nor are the Never Trumpers or the Bush Bots. Or dare I say will Karl Rove.

The Bush family did not support him the first time after he trounced their golden boy Jebby. Stay out of the Bushes.

Trump Landslide 2020!!!

The DNC/CPUSA Voter Fraudsters beg to differ.

Voter Fraud is Trump's (and America's) ONLY opponent in 2020 election.

If the libtards were right about Bush in retrospect, in 10 years will they be right about Trum?

I fear in ten years Trump will be seen as the guy who talked right, but didn't get the job done - because he failed to clean house aggressively when a chance still remained. He came into office thinking that - as in a corporation - the Federal Government had institutional memory that needed to be preserved, not realizing that Clinton/Bush/Obama had pretty much overseen the replacement of all competent and reputable Federal employees with ideologues and idiots. He has already wasted three years of his Presidency battling sabotage from these people, when a group of strategic firings on Day One might have saved him immeasurable grief.

Even more recent hires like the Espers and the Wrays keep turning on him - and I don't think it is ideological as much as that these types of men rose in the Federal hierarchy because they had something to hide that could be used to control them when the time came. Trump completely underestimated the ability of the Deep State to blackmail people inside the system - those it has carefully helped to rise in anticipation of they day they will need to be used.

Given that Trump's attempts to be conciliatory to the existing executive structure of the firm - as he seemed to see it - got him nothing, it is time to use what is left of his term - even if it is only until January, 2021 - to aggressively clean house and seek people outside of DC to help do it. Otherwise, his Administration may go down in history as the last, great missed opportunity to halt the slide into collectivism.

If someone is going to make a meme they ought to know the difference between billion and trillion.

Bush increased the National Debt by $4.5 trillion, not a paltry $6 billion.

As much as I hate him now, one day in Maine, me and my ex met him and Laura. We were eating lobster at a seafood restaurant and he came in with 41 and Barbara and they all were shaking hands. Now, I know he is a two faced ass...

Take your ball and go home Bush.

You didn’t get YOUR way so now you want to throw a tantrum? Please. You fought a war based on a lie, helped the House of Saud, and fought for the rights of illegals to steal American jobs.

Go away you ingrate ‘elite’... yeh and take your ball and brother with you.

I worked hard to help get him elected...and, yes, voted for him twice.

Me too. Bushes are betrayers. They make you sympathize with the French who put their kind through the guillotine.

And his head OUGHT to roll for all the troops he killed and all the treasure he pissed away.

And their truly damnable liars too... like when daddy Bush told everyone Iraqis were bayoneting infants.

I listened to Giuliani’s latest interview of the founder of Papa John’s who learned from the hiring of the first cook (with no prior experience) “to hire for attitude and train for aptitude.” It occurred to me that there is not one decent person left in DC. They ALL need to be fired and replaced with decent folk from the Heartland, who are God-fearing, honest, and loyal.

Bless yer heart W. Nobody will ever accuse you of putting America first. The instant you felt the need to call yourself ‘compassionate’ conservative was a swipe at natural born conservatives.

There are people to this day I have no relationship, because I took up for you after I voted for your wimpy @ssss....

The libtards were absolutely correct when they called you a ‘drunken’ frat boy.
