Book: Former President George H.W. Bush voted for Hillary in 2016

CNS: Former President George H.W. Bush, who lost his own re-election bid in 1992 to Bill Clinton, told Mark Updegrove, the author of a new book about him and his son, that he voted for Hillary Clinton for president in 2016.

The younger Bush, George W., told the author that he also declined to vote for Donald Trump for president, but also did not vote for Clinton, instead voting for “none of the above.”

The fact that George H.W. Bush voted for Hillary Clinton was reported by a number of news organizations on Saturday.

 

Fox News reported it this way:

“Former President George H.W. Bush says he is not too excited about ‘blowhard’ President Trump and confirmed in a new book that he voted for Hillary Clinton.

“‘I don’t like him,’ Bush, 93, says in the book, according to a review by The New York Times. ‘I don’t know much about him, but I know he’s a blowhard. And I’m not to excited about him being a leader.’…

“The younger Bush told Updegrove that he voted for ‘none of the above.’”

CNN put it this way:

“In the end, neither Bush voted for their party’s nominee. George H.W. Bush confirmed that he voted for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. George W. Bush told Updegrove he left the top of the ballot blank.

“I voted ‘None of the Above’ for president, and Republican down ballot in 2016,” he said.

“He went on to say that concern with the former secretary of state’s judgment kept him from following his father’s lead. He told the author in the weeks leading up to Election Day, ‘The question for the country to decide — on both candidates, by the way — is to what extent should we be insisting upon integrity and solid character.’”

SNIP: Knowing how the Bush dynasty works, I wouldn’t doubt that Billy Bush was sacrificed in order to leak the ‘grab em by the pu$$y’ Access Hollywood audio of him and Trump, to try and knock him out of the presidential race.

Spare me the ‘integrity and solid character’ speech, GW. Your daddy may not have been grabbing pu$$ies [So far, that we know of], but he’s certainly admitted to grabbing asses [without permission]. And apparently, he even voted for one. [OK maybe two.]

  1. It is always better to remain silent…the minute you open your mouth you remove all doubt your character and moral fiber.

    We knew one Bush was questionable but now we learn that both need their egos tweaked by taking shots at PDJT who has already established himself as the president neither one was.

  2. Voting for Hillary was an act of irrevocable resignation from the GOP and what we hope it stands for. Go away, W. You have slipped the moorings and are adrift in an unknown sea.

  3. Never a peep out of either one of these jerks during the 8 years of the unbridled lawlessness of Obama. But the dirty old man and is imbecilic son can’t hold their tongues for someone following the constitution?

  4. The eldest of G.W. Bush’s dimwitted sons invaded Iraq because of a so called attempt on his dad’s life. Now both go after Trump because he thrashed his other inbred son Yeb. Senior already has Clinton hanging around his house trying to cop a feel from Barbara, how long before he also adopts the jug eared buffoon Obama?

  5. uniparty = ruling establishment

    their hate for trump is strictly because he is not in their club.

    not a word about obama for 8 years but can’t keep their yaps shut about our trump.

    bite me bush !

  7. And they wonder why $150 million got Jeb! 4 electoral votes. The Bush family are as bad as Hillary. None are willing to STFU and be gracious and accepting of a democratic process that rejected what they were offering. The good news this behavior isn’t going to win them any favor with voters.

  8. George H.W. Bush’s entire political career was to counter conservatism.

    He said so in a History Channel documentary that he was tasked and accepted the role of spoiler in Texas because the right-winger insurgents were gaining too much power.

    Thanks Bush family.

  9. Bubba Clinton didn’t splooge on harMonica’s blue dress, he splooged on GHWBush. And apparently GHWB is just fine with that.
    W, buffoon that he is, is all about blind loyalty, like a brain-damaged dog. Except now he’s being disloyal to his hand-chosed competent Aides, instead opting to sniff the ass of the successor to his father who humiliated his father and sullied our country. And obama.

    THANK YOU to the Bush clan, a bunch of entitled but apparently inbred clan, for revealing to History what unworthy TRASH you truly are. I’ll be anticipating Jenna’s tell-all book someday detailing all your families depraved proclivities. AMF !!!!!!

  10. NOT NEWS! The progressive Bush Clan ALL announced 10/16 they were voting Clinton. W’s daughters even worked fund raisers for her. the MSM is playing this up to distract from Clinton’s problem in the new Bush party. In the “ol Corps” we call this a “stalking horse” – fed;gn!
