Bush 41 is a good man…
Note: Bob Dole will attend but won’t endorse…
Actually, when you get over the part where it’s inevitable, this truly is yooooooge! Former presidents boycotting their own party’s convention?
Trump: Thank god, that’s the worst family in the USA. Dubya took us to Iraq and bankrupted our country. 9/11 happened on his watch too. He belongs in jail. Jeb should be in jail just because he is a Bush.
HW and Bill Clinton apparently became very good friends after both their presidencies were over. I wonder if HW will endorse Hillary somewhere down the line? Also, I wonder if that would be a bad thing because he’s a Bush, or a good thing because he’s a republican? Good discussion topic. Opinions are welcomed, as always.
Note: Bob Dole will attend but won't endorse....
That’s a direct quote:
“Bob Dole will attend but won’t endorse.” —Bob Dole
I could see a situation where 41 and 43 stayed silent, but Barbara and Laura endorsed Hillary.
Aaahhh…Let’s not go overboard.
"If Donald Trump looked at a demographic profile of his supporters, he
would emit a dismissive sneer. They are disproportionally out of work or
not seeking it. If they do have a job, they’re probably working with
their hands, maybe something a machine will do better or someone
overseas will do cheaper.
A large share have only a high school education, which they
increasingly find useless. Trump, not one for the niceties of PC, might
call such people “losers.” I think they’re something else as well:
suckers."
Poppy’s actually looking forward to diarrhea…
Hey, it’s not all bad news for republicans. I understand there are lots of convention tickets available at cut rate prices.
Barbra maybe-ish - Laura, no way. 41 & 43? Nope. Conservative tribe much more triby tribal-ness.
Since they left the White House, Laura has made some very liberal comments regarding abortion rights and equality. She just might get liquored up and endorse one afternoon. The trick will be catching her leaving the country club.
Trump, also, has disturbed La Gioconda’s tranquility…
No. He wasn’t/isn’t.
He was the head of the “Committee to Re-Elect the President” for Richard Nixon, the Chief Spook at the CIA under Gerald Ford (payback for the Nixon work), worked to destroy everything President Carter ever did to spite him for replacing him at the CIA, supported all of the insane “Trickle Down” Reagan economic policies (even as he had called them “Voodoo Economics” during the 1980 campaign), pushed the Republican Culture Wars at every chance, personally ran the entire Iran/Contra operation out of the White House, then denied ever having heard of it, and became one of the Board members of the Carlyle Group that pushed for and profited handsomely off of the Bush Wars in the middle east, and worst of all. GOT HIS IDIOT SON ELECTED PRESIDENT. TWICE.
He is not a nice man and never was.
To be fair, I don’t know that Bush 43 has been invited to a convention since he’s left the White House.
Other way around. Laura actually LIKES Hillary and Babs said what she WANTED to call Hillary ‘rhymed with witch’…
Maintaining his perfect record for the number of the 17 GOP presidential contenders who asked him to campaign for them.
These are the guys who brought Dick Cheney and Dan Quayle into the Oval Office, and they still won’t give their blessing to the Trumdumpster.
What else needs to be said?
