Breaking: George H.W. Bush to vote for Hillary

[ag]

Thank you, Mr. President!

When the new GOP crop has you assessing the legacy of the Bushes as that of relative sanity and stability, it should really tell our country something about the state of almost half the electorate and one of our nation's two major parties...

I have little doubt that the elder members of the Bush family will either be voting for Clinton (ironically, the wife of Bush Sr's successful rival) or abstaining. The Republican base will proclaim them members of a sinister, treacherous elite, but that only further proves my point. Not to mention, how very non-conservative that is of them to speak so disrespectfully of elder members of their own party and former Presidents. These people aren't conservatives - they're enraged, right-wing populists with no sense of decency, respect for American institutions, or highest office. I dislike conservatism as a philosophy and ideology, but even I wouldn't taint it by associating this rabble with it.

Great post.

Though, frankly, I hold a much higher personal opinion of Bush Sr. - and of conservatives in general.

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.

Everybody personally abetting Trump presidency will be held by history personally responsible for launching WWIII. I mean, your position would only be consistent if you believed that Hillary Clinton's main fault is not causing death of enough people.

Nobody finds it troubling all these neocons lining up behind her? They seem very comfortable with her FP decisions Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen etc.

I find it extremely troubling. And if Trump weren't a fictional tv character who spends all his time dog-whistling about race war and assassinating his opponent in between ranting about ending the Constitution and launching illegal wars of aggression to seize resources, maybe he could use it to his advantage.

If he were not all that, all those neocons would have been voting for him: or, at least, would be keeping silent about that.

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.

It's not their fault the party nominated that no appeal towards them, they don't like/trust for a reason. And if she loses it will be because of baby boomers, Gen Xers.

No. There are only two parties, and no candidate can have appeal to every Democrat. It was a fare fight, and there are simply many more moderates than radicals.

If Trump wins, and you will have chosen to act in a manner that helps that, you will be personally held responsible for all the deaths and havoc it causes. Not some mythical "millennial", but you, personally and forever.

It will be Hillary's fault and her fault alone if she loses, of course when she s up its everyone else's fault but hers.

You are not any different from any other Trump supporter, that is it. Be honest, and go vote Trump.

I don't know why someone who knows he's going to hell just for procreating, none the less committing many other more serious sins, would want to make his final year even worse.

Because for some strange reason he does not want you and your family to die a horrible death. I know, you do not appreciate that, but he, still, cares.

I view immigrationism and globalism as nothing more than ideology, wishful thinking, virtue signalling, and Brazilification. If the Donald Trump phenomenon makes the party rethink its approach to immigration, trade and social cohesion, it's fine by me. 

It's a shame that "virtue signalling", a rather useful term, has so quickly been overused to the point of oblivion. What on earth is "Brazilification" or "immigrationism", anyway? We are and have always been a country of immigrants.  But then again what is to expected from someone whose username might as well be "I am a racist hick"?

Quite a topic the migratory experience of racist hicks.

Frankly, I think racist hick males should be castrated in adolescence and should spend the rest of their lives singing in high voices for the glory of the Lord. Most definitely, the world would have been a better place if that were routinely done. Fortunately for certain deplorable types around here, there are social norms that prevent my view on this issue from being seriously considered for implementation as public policy.

It would have been more civilised just to not let them in. I'm happy we're reaching a common ground here, people.

If we do not let racist hick males down here, how would I be able to enjoy your falscetto?

Don't degrade yourself, you're better than that.

Nah. I was better than that. Before Trump.
