A Kennedy outs a Bush who favors a Clinton.
Former President George H.W. Bush is bucking his party’s presidential nominee and plans to vote for Hillary Clinton in November, according to a member of another famous political family, the Kennedys.
Bush, 92, had intended to stay silent on the White House race between Clinton and Donald Trump, a sign in and of itself of his distaste for the GOP nominee. But his preference for the wife of his own successor, President Bill Clinton, nonetheless became known to a wider audience thanks to Kathleen Hartington Kennedy Townsend, the former Maryland lieutenant governor and daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy.
On Monday, Townsend posted a picture on her Facebook page shaking hands next to the former president and this caption: “The President told me he’s voting for Hillary!!”
In a telephone interview, Townsend said she met with the former president in Maine earlier today, where she said he made his preference known that he was voting for a Democrat. “That’s what he said,” she told POLITICO.

George H.W. Bush for Hillary? A spokesman isn't saying @CNNPolitics https://t.co/DucpALNpNd

Not sure I believe this, but I wouldn’t blame Bush I if he did. Our main choice in November is between two liberals. The only difference is that one of them is posing as a conservative Republican. While Clinton is a liar, corrupt and incompetent, she has been more honest about her liberal socialism than the phony Trump. Perhaps Bush I figures he might as well go with the one who hasn’t lied about who and what she is.
If he did vote for Clinton, Bush I would not be alone. I believe many others feel the same way. It’s not an option I would advocate, but it is their choice and I do understand their reasoning. This election has been a farce. Now it’s a tragedy. This country is headed for ruin no matter who wins, and it’s frustrating, feeling we are powerless to stop the coming destruction. All we can do is vote our conscience and pray we can survive the next 4 years.
