Most Republicans I know respect the service of the Bush family
even though there is disagreement on some issues. But, on one
issue we are in total agreement, national security is paramount!
So it is perplexing the Bush family has made it more than obvious
they prefer Hillary Clinton being elected rather than Trump.
Going on her performance as both adviser to President Obama
and Secy of State her failings are impossible to ignore.
It must deeply hurt President Bush to see what has happened in
Iraq since he restored stability with the 'surge' at the end of his
second term. Now Iraq is close to being annexed by Iran which
he would never allowed to happen.
Nor, how can George W. not be troubled by the treatment of two
Iraq military heros, McChrystal and Petraeus, especially Hillary's
harsh, insulting and disrespectful display towards Petraeus during
a Senate hearing.
Since I am sure George W respects both men, he should ask them
who they will vote for.
Yet, the Bush family remains mum about what Hillary really thinks
of the military by ignoring her decades of contempt. They know.
Iraq is one part of the Middle East puzzle. George W must be
equally disturbed how Obama and Hillary destroyed whatever
degree of stability was found in Libya after Muammar Gaddafi
reached out to him. Does the Bush family remember the smile
on Hillary face after Gaddafi was murdered in the street?
The Middle East is worse today than when George W. left
office. To think Hillary is the right person would take a
"suspension of disbelief", exactly what Hillary insultingly
said to Petraeus.
Add to this the relationship with Russia, now worse than it
was before Reagan!
As for the Republican Party, it is fractured due to the fear
of its establishment of Trump upsetting 'governing as usual'.
Trump should be commended for driving up registrations after
years of the electorate gravitating towards unaffiliated.
I wonder if the Bush family even reviewed the plans Trump is
campaigning on. They should. He is attacking problems politicians
only campaign on.
The outreach to poor Blacks and Latinos is equal to George W's
efforts. The assurances coal miners jobs would be protected, the
strong support of law enforcement, strengthening of health care
by replacing Obamacare, the conservative he would appoint to
the Supreme Court, the plan to finally fix the VA, simplified three
rate tax code and reduction in corporate tax by two thirds are
all equal to what is written in the Republican Party's platform.
Hillary offers none of this...only hollow promises, quickly forgotten.
In the minds of many American the Clintons are undeserving of
returning to the White House and privately probably so does the
Bush family.
I remember the re-election campaign of George HW Bush and
how low the Clintons went to defeat him with allegations of an
affair, a matter which 'came out of the blue' just to draw votes
away from him.
Add to this the gall of tainting HW's reputation by having him
join President Clinton in the effort to aid Haiti which we now
find have enriched their foundation while failing the Haitian
people who still protest in front of Bill Clinton's office!
With the waterfall flow of information the world now sees the
depth of the corruption Hillary used in the State Dept.
Does the Bush family really think she would not use the power
of the presidency to do further damage our nation?
The Bush family are not fools. They know the Clintons as well
as anyone. To see them not work to defeat Hillary Clinton makes
many of the Republican electorate wonder why.
The Bush family refusal to support Donald Trump tells us much
more about them than any misgivings they have towards Trump!

ReplyDeleteThe Bushes are Ivy League globalists. They have been implicated in the laundering of drug money by Robert Mazur in his book :"The Infiltrator". One of Jeb's and G.W.'s close friends was a Lebanese international banker directly tied to money laundering. I wouldn't trust any politician as far as I could throw them and I'm old with 2 bad shoulders.

It has become apparent that the Bushes are globalists and Trump is a nationalist and therein lies the problem. They are for open borders and Trump is not. Bush, Sr. was in bed with the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation and surely is aware of the fact that very little of the Foundation money has been spent in Haiti and the Haitian people can't stand the Clintons because of it. GW's love of the military is his saving grace. His allowing the 2 border guards to stay in jail for so long prove he is a globalist to me. And then there is the family pride because Jeb was knocked out so quickly and the fact that the American people are sick of Bushes.

The USA has turned full circle so we are once again ruled by aristocrats.
Even if Trump is not elected he has shown the corruption of our ruling elites who betray their voters.
We need to reform the GOP to respect their voters rather than the special interests. If the GOP cannot be reformed it must be replaced by another party.
George W. Bush was a lousy president. Almost as bad as Barack Obama. The two of them took our debt from $4 trillion to $20 trillion. Thanks to to them our nation is on the point of collapse so please don't waste your time supporting the Bush family. They have done enough damage and it is time for them to depart from the corridors of power.
