So George W Bush voted for Hillary

[DemocratSinceBirth]

For all his flaws and they were manifest he never showed contempt for democratic norms, the rule of law, the sanctity of the ballot, and due process. These are the features that make us unique and not some big piece of real estate! In the absence of these features we are lost and irretrievably so.

1. Not sure I agree with your characterization of him....

but he is not the flat-out insane asshole Trump is, that's for sure.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. Those are first principles. If you don't show fealty to them you are unfit to be a dog catcher.

[Adrahil]

6. I think he did a lot to skirt the rule of law.

From warrantless wiretaps to Gitmo, he did a lot to increase the power of an Imperial Presidency. Not to mention his flagrant use of torture by just defining it as not torture.

But Trump is in a whole different class....

8. Also, this is just a rumor started by his nephew who doesn't really know squat.

Somehow his admitted speculation got into the news instead of the National Inquirer.

[Adrahil]

9. I actually believe it.

For all his very many weaknesses, Dubya thought of himself as a statesman and knows Trump is not.

11. I'll tell the AP. They may run that too. :-)

[Adrahil]

12. Be sure they spell my name right. ;) NT

13. If the choices were Hindenburg and Hitler I would have voted for the former.

Those are the decision ostensibly sane Republicans need to make.

[BigDemVoter]

14. Same here.

Never thought I would write or say ANYTHING even vaguely favorable about GWB, but as you said--tRump's craziness & nasty disposition make him worse.

2. Where did you see this?

4. George P said his granddad and uncle likely voted for HRC.

23. George P. "Rocco" Bush isn't exactly MENSA material.

We call him "Rocco" because of his striking resemblance to every mob thug in every noir movie ever made.

[Coyotl]

5. Stealing two Presidential elections is contempt for the law, democratic norms, and due process.

The sanctity of the ballot was Bush's greatest enemy!

[NewJeffCT]

7. His best quality

was that he was able to find corrupt and incompetent people for his administration without regards to gender or race - Condi Rice, Colin Powell, Rod Paige, Elaine Chao, Harriet Myers, Alberto Gonzalez, etc.

10. ^ This.

15. George W. Bush was the Texas version of Trump

[Botany]

16. R you kidding me?

"For all his flaws and they were manifest he never showed contempt for democratic norms, the rule of
law, the sanctity of the ballot, and due process."

Florida 2000 & OH 2004 ring any bells?

18. Dubya should vote for Hillary,

what, with the way tRump really got on Jeb! "Low energy," and other derogatory things he said during the primaries. Pretty sure Jeb! isn't voting tRump.

[denbot]

19. Dub-ya's almost as vindictive as Cheeto Anus.

Dump stated the obvious fact that Dub-ya did not keep us safe, well ya don't cross a Bush then expect to get any love for your efforts.

20. Lil Boots - The Reluctant and curiously uncurious pResident

Hi! I respect your opinion that it's cool he apparently voted for her, but, I will only praise him if he publicly come out and announce as a few other Republicans like Powell did. Surely, his brother told him Trump's a complete idiot and dangerous person to be president (if W had no intellectual curiosity to care about Trump). And, I think Jeb should put out a statement that she's the only major candidate fit for the presidency that's left. Then again, maybe he asked through political channels, and she said, no thanks! LOL

21. 9/11, "Evildoers," WMD, Abu Ghraib, "Mission Accomplished," the Great Recession...

Gitmo, "With us or against us," "the smoking gun will be a mushroom cloud," DICK CHENEY, Ashcroft, Rice, Ari Fleischer warning Americans to "watch what they say, watch what they do," John Ashcroft and Alberto Gonzales as Atty Generals, John Roberts and Samuel Alito appointed to SCOTUS, the Patriot Act, lack of response to Hurricane Katrina...and that's just a (very) partial "greatest-hits" list.

2001-2008 were some of the darkest days in American history. Every day brought some staggeringly insane new and terrible development. Bush's inner circle was composed of some of the most toxic right-wing ideologues to hold appointments.

I'm sure Bush is a "regular guy" in many regards ("Now, watch this drive!&quot , but nothing will alter the feelings of deep anger and depression so many experienced during his two very long terms in office.
