Nephew: George W. Bush may vote for Clinton

George P. Bush said Tuesday that his uncle, former President George W. Bush, may join his grandfather George H.W. Bush in casting his ballots for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump, according to the Associated Press.

The Texas land commissioner made the comments while addressing a small Republican rally in San Marcos, Texas, on Tuesday night, saying that both former presidents in the family may "potentially" vote for the Democratic presidential ticket come Election Day.

Later asked to clarify his comments by the AP, George P. Bush said that he was just "speculating" and couldn't say with certainty how they'd vote.

POLITICO reported in September that George H.W. Bush plans to vote for Clinton over Trump on Nov. 8, according to the member of another prominent political family, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy.

All over the country decent Republicans are not willing to vote for Trump. Combine that with over 28% of eligible voters in Texas being Hispanic and Texas could easily go blue.
