Wow!  Does something like this have historical precedent?

Bill Clinton campaigned for Niki Tsongas in the 2007 special election. Tongue

In all seriousness though, I'm not aware of any recent precedent in terms of actual Presidents voting for nominees of the opposite party, although McGovern voted for Ford in 1976.

How can anybody be surprised to Clinton bleeding so much millennial support to Johnson/Stein they are one of the most anti-war generations. They already know her FP record and then they see neocons lining up behind her of course they are going to be open to the actual antiwar candidates.

And if Trump wins the party needs to be on millennials ass for the next 4 years telling them to repent for getting him elected since it would likely fully be their fault that it happened.

Sure, blame the most pro-Clinton generation for Clinton's loss. Roll Eyes

3 out of 4 living Presidents supporting you is pretty good.

4 out of 5, if you count Obama.

And Dubya isn't exactly a Trump fan, nor is he someone whose endorsement would be particularly helpful.

While people are whinging here, Donald Trump Jr tweeting an especially abhorrent picture.

  Is this supposed to scare Trump supporters? lol
 

This isn't about Trump supporters. This is the biggest mistake being made around here.

What is Aleppo?

It's become blatantly clear that Hillary Clinton has the better, more hawkish foreign policy.

I thought I was ready to vote for Trump, but losing a Bush (officially) to Hillary is deeply depressing.

Better? Yes, although it was blatantly clear to anyone with an iota of intelligence, like, several years ago. More hawkish? No.
