George H.W. Bush Will Turn out for What?

by Kim D.

Democrats are rejoicing today! Supposedly, 41 has declared he will vote for Hillary Clinton this November.

Let's not get too fired up just yet.

Perhaps the 41st President will actually vote for the wife of the man who took his second term or not. Who knows? After all, this information was leaked by Democrat Kathleen Hartington Kennedy Townsend, daughter of  Robert Kennedy. 

According to Politico: 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.

While the idea that a former Republican president would vote for Hillary Clinton is a head scratcher, let's pause for a second to consider why he would consider betraying his party's nominee. Perhaps Trump's needling of Jeb was a touch too much and unforgivable. Perhaps 41 believes that Establishment politics are worth saving, thinking only Hillary would keep the status quo and elitism in politics.

Here's the official word from the Bush Camp: Asked about Townsend’s post, George H.W. Bush spokesman Jim McGrath in an email replied, "The vote President Bush will cast as a private citizen in some 50 days will be just that: a private vote cast in some 50 days. He is not commenting on the presidential race in the interim." So, perhaps we shouldn't get too excited about this supposed revelation.  

After all . . . .

Bush is voting for Clinton? Says who?

Politico.

Who's their source?

IDK, some Kennedy.
