One of the Bush's endorsing Hillary will surely get millennials on board.

You really are a broken record...

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

Because that's the ONLY issue that matters?

Yes, thousands of people dying because of her incompetent decisions MATTERS.

The options are Clinton or Trump, that's it. One of them will be President.

If you're more comfortable with a Trump presidency and its foreign policy agenda, such as it is, go nuts.

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.

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.

That's literally the most self-righteous and self-indulgent and entitled opinion. Voting isn't just a right to use and abuse, it's a responsibility that has impacts on people beyond yourself. Vote how you like, but remember, that there are good and bad consequences to your decision and you own both of them.

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.

Not if people are so delicate and unable to deal with compromise and moderation for the achievement of common goals. If the little dears can't understand that by now...

Regardless of whom he supports, HW Bush is a disgusting man who ran an even worse campaign than Trump in 1992, which is why he was humiliated on election day. It should also be noted that the Bushes would have supported Clinton over any other Republican (except Jeb) as well.

Nah... probably would have backed Kasich.

George W. Bush is obviously supporting Clinton, he just doesn't want to admit it.

Nor would she.

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.

Apparently Bush's spokesperson is not denying this.

If Trump really is an aberration, why won't McConnell/Ryan/et al unequivocally rebuke him and distance themselves from him? The only thing worse than losing the election would be winning with Trump because then it really will be the Trumpist Party.

Not to get personal but does Paul Ryan really want to have to explain to his children why he supported someone like Donald Trump when they're old enough to ask those kinds of questions?

Because the GOP's chances are built on Trump's base. Pissing them off doesn't win back angry moderates/suburban educateds, AND alienates Trump's base, it's a lose/lose.
