Hundreds of former officials who served under President George W. Bush are gearing up to endorse presumptive Democratic Nominee Joe Biden. The group of officials—which include members of Mr. Bush’s cabinet and other senior officers—has reportedly formed a political action committee dubbed 43 Alumni for Biden. Mr. Bush was the 43rd president. “We know what is normal and what is abnormal, and what we are seeing is highly abnormal. The president is a danger,” Jennifer Millikin, one of the 43 Alumni organizers, who worked on Bush’s 2004 re-election campaign and later in the General Services Administration, told Reuters.

Have you or anyone else ever heard of Jennifer Millikin? Bush was not that popular a president. This is about headlines.

I supported and respected W. Did the same for Romney when I was called upon.
Now this.
Considering how both of these men stabbed me in the back and neglected me (I don't know which was worse) I suspect this will only galvanize Trump supporters like me.

More fake news. Of course the Deep State never Trumper Deranger posse will show up to make him look bad and all it will do is phiss off the Trump lovers who will show up en masse to re-elect him in a huge landslide.

‘At least the Dems tell us up front who they are’ - This little group of Bushies will have no impact on me. I am older and wiser than I was in 2000 and 2004. I don’t want their ‘normal’. Do they really think this fascist push wouldn’t have happened under Romney or Paul or Rubio, or another Bush?? This is Obama and his ilk behind the scenes. They fool themselves with their smug condescension.

Just the act of saying Biden (no matter who his opponent) is worthy of being CinC and Chief Executive of this nation shows an abject lack of seriousness, sound judgement and an adult understanding of the world around us. How do these people live?

If logic applies and if the enemy of my enemy is my friend, Bush was the archenemy of the dims. Therefore trump is their friend.
At the very least, the dims should feel queasy voting for a Bush-endorsed candidate, no?
But then, I suppose TDS is even worse than BDS. Hoever you look at it, they’re deranged, and that includes Bush et al.

Is Missy Milliken referring to the “normalcy”of the Bush years? The Bush who took into an undeclared war with Iraq? A war predicated on finding weapons of mass destruction that weren’t there. And the Bush who took us into a war in Afghanistan in order to teach the Taliban a lesson? A war that quickly turned into nation building and that is still draining us 18 years later with no end in sight. The same Bush who remained mute during all of the lies, deceits and scandal of the Obama presidency? If tthat’s her idea of normal, I want none of it,

Consider the source, they are all globalist insider DC swamp critters. The reason that Trump was elected in the first place by the American people was to kick those swamp critter’s butts. Clearly the swamp critters do not like that.

All these Bush, Inc. lackies thinking only of Bushes wresting control of the GOP again after Trump. If they put proper Trump-hating quotes in the press, they stay in good with the family for future employment. We DO realize Rove is home in Texas busy as a bee preparing all the money folks for a George P. launch into the national spotlight, right?

This is my position:
Any person supporting Biden is endorsing the destruction of our capitalist republic. You cant sugar coat that fact. Biden may or may not be a barking leftists, but his handlers are and most of his appointments will be as well.
This election is black and white. Do you want a free market constitutional republic or do you want a socialist state run by little tyrants? Its that simple and those are your only choices.
These Bush people are, in my opinion, traitors to the republic and no better than the treasoncrats in the treasoncrat party.

Face it. The Republican party lost its way after Reagan. It was taken over by lying globalistas masquerading as Republicans that would side with Democrats. They now will vote for the befuddled one? Good for them! Now the Republican party can find its real identity, and offer a real alternative to the Democrats. Republicans won't be falling for globalistas anymore.

If they are really Republicans, they would had run a candidate against President Trump in the primaries; or supported a libertarian candidate. But to say they will vote for Biden does not make sense. Biden is totally opposite of Republican beliefs. Therefore they are liberals in Republican clothing.

So these people are going to vote with the same people that called their boss Bush a Chimpanzee and a Nazi. Just proving that people who are part of the permanent Government class are self serving scum who care more about the UN and the Globalist agenda than they do about the US and the average American.

They aren't going to endorse Biden...they will "draft" a certain western Senator, a man in the Bush tradition, handsome, successful businessman who can get things done as a NeverTrump GOP reform third party alternative. A man of deep religious conviction and one who demonstrated his high principles when he voted for conviction on one count of the Trump impeachment "indictment". He was even ENDORSED once by the man himself. That's IF the numbers fall in their direction.
The UNIPARTY can't afford to lose both sides of the aisles to "reformers". Biden blocks the radicals from the Dem ticket. Expect a fair amount of "conservative"/traditional Dem support flowing away to an acceptable "mainstream" alternative to Bumblin' Joe.
It's not about popular vote. It's the Electoral College. Maybe the House...

Biden will be a figurehead. The Left will control the agenda, will control the everything in the Executive, and probably beyond to Congress. This means the end of the Constitutional Republic. Because once the Supreme Court is neutralized or even disbanded --WHO'S gonna stop the Dem/Left?-- the Constitution will be rendered null and void.
Remember how BO once referred to the Constitution as "that paper"? We know he didn't like it because it was a document of "negative rights". BO installed loyalists throughout the government, courts and military. I think we've seen enough criticism of POTUS coming from all sectors to prove that.
Anyone dissing President Trump FOR Biden and ergo the Left, is voting for the destruction of our Republic. They 're either useful idiots or craven evildoers.

What a parade of cryoto-globalist losers we Conservatives have been stuck with as candidates since The Gipper: George H. W. Bush, John McCain, George W. Bush, Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, et al. Thank God Donald J. Trump stood up to the plate and saved the nation from disaster under the Deep State fronted by The Hildebeast.
This country is in an existential battle with Washington D.C. Pray for PDJT and this country in its hour of need.

If she, and the other Bush 43 Alumni, want normal, then they should be looking to elect as many Republicans and supporting the Republican agenda.
The current times of election turmoil is brought about by Democrats not wanting to allow for the peaceful transfer of power, and then using an un-predicated investigation into Gen. Flynn to enable the later special counsel investigation into Trump. The latter resulted in ZERO collusion or obstruction and looks to be a phoney cover to initiate the investigation too.
Then, after that didn't work, they decided to use a phone call about Ukraine to initiate hearings, then actually tried to impeach the president (only Mitt thought one item was possibly impeachable but later likely learned about those 50+ transcripts that were hidden from him and everyone else but a handful of Democrats).
So, this year, they pushed that he didn't do enough about COVID, when he did more, and earlier, than anyone thought, plus if he did more, they'd have claimed he was over-reaching and installing a dictatorship. When that seemed to settle down, the Democrats have decided to launch a Russian bounty on U.S. soldiers. This is another catch-22 scheme.
Want to put a stop to all of those things, elect Republicans across the board, keep the WH, expand the Senate majority, and re-take the House.
You will see a stop to all of the Democrat schemes, and will expose all of the schemes I just highlighted above. They will not have the ability to hide documents, and declare things redacted that have no real reason other than they want to cover-up the truth.

When it all shakes out, it will probably be Bill Kristol, Paul Ryan and some people I've never heard of. No honest person can stand up and make the argument that Joe Biden in his current condition is qualified to be POTUS. Anyone who tries will be laughed out of the room.

If President Trump loses the election we will get a president totally owned by Nancy Pelosi & Charles Schumer running our country. Who knows who they are indebted to, George Soros? Our country is going through a sad period and we need to restore order and stand up to the bullies. I’m sad that our Republican leaders are not able to represent the beliefs of the many patriotic people.

Let's all just face it-- President Trump is the best President since Ronald Reagan.
Those "republicans" who have come after Ronaldus Magnus, by and large have deserted U.S.
Many of them talk a good game, but they leave us high and dry when we need them to stand for us!
Its going to be up to US to save the Republic-- only a very few will stand with us.
After much heated rhetoric on the "Corona Virus bill, NOT ONE voted against all the pork in it to get a better bill.
When Nobama got NobamaCare passed on CHRISTMAS EVE after suffering a staggering lost of House seats in the 2010 mid-terms, NOT ONE SINGLE REPUBLICAN voted for it-- now the make show votes to look like they are against it, but will not vote to KILL it.

That Republican Party is as dead as the Whigs, we expect to fight the opposition, but you don’t forget being repeatedly betrayed by your own side and the realization that the reason we could so rarely get a win was because our ‘leaders’ were pulling their punches or taking a dive at the critical moment. Benedict Arnold is reviled , Lord Cornwallis isn’t.
