How absolutely despotic and revolting do you have to be as a Republican Presidential candidate to have Daddy Bush support HILLARY?

Yes it's true.   W's father, the First Bush President?  He's come out in support of a Democrat.   Are we erasing boundaries?  Is there no longer a clear Democratic or Republican party any longer thanks to Trump?

    Big Daddy Bush is a big member of the establishment just like Hillary. The Bushes refer to Bill Clinton as there long lost son. Not to mention he is still mad that Jeb got beat out of his nomination.  Jeb is who the establishment had picked for the nomination.  But Trump swooped in and ruined that dynasty they were hoping for.....lol

    Daddy Bush is older than dirt.  I'm not certain I'd be so quick to accept his judgement. :-)

    Besides, everyone knows that old guard (and totally useless) repugnicans are in a snit over the orange man.  That they'd vote for Hillary merely serves as testament to the desperate attempts of the statist quo to retain power.

    That the Bush dynasty thought Jeb had any chance in hell just goes to show the people at the top are suffering from diffusion psychosis.   How many millions did he piss away on his campaign? That Trumpian ass whuppin' couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of parasites. LOLOL!

    The Tea Partiers have been a thorn in the Republicans side for some time now, at that is the demographic Trump is pandering to. This is not the first Republican to 'come out' against Trump, not too long ago a senator said she would resign her seat in the senate if he won and started telling her how to vote..

    And then there is this guy

    The (now largely defunct) Tea Party goes by another name: the repugnican party base.  The schism of which Trump has become emblematic is the somewhat predictable result of mass disenfranchisement.  In democracies--representative or otherwise--people tend to get a bit cranky when the people they elect/hire to champion their cause don't give, and make no pretense of giving, a chit about them.

    ...Oh, and contrary to MSM generated myth, the Tea Party weren't a bunch of atavistic racist pinheads.  All they really wanted was responsive government and a reduction in/of spending. For that they were demonized in all the usual ways by all the usual suspects.

    So how about you. You still think people will change their thinking because you say they should ;-))

    I am not sure of the truth of this but to the last questions I think it is true that we are erasing boundaries and the more I think about it the more I think that is a very good thing. That people are voting for nothing more than an R or a D no matter what the candidate was not good at all. I did it just like most people but Hillary pushed me into switching away from D and since then I have thought much more about what policy and ideas are good and how the other side sees things. There are very smart people who are not low information voters on both sides and if people are more willing to change their vote and give up loyalty to a letter of alphabet then maybe more of the smart ideas will happen.

    I have no expectations regarding that/what other people think. You must be asking the wrong person. :-)

    This I do know, however: even the intellectually bereft can understand simple concepts like true representation.  Moreover, it doesn't take any particular genius to recognize that one is being screwed.  If you've (used generically) ever had trouble wrapping your noggin around the Trump phenomenon, it is simply this: people have had enough of the statist quo.  If he wins (which I still doubt), this will be why.

    At the very least it'll make for an interesting four years. :-)

    Oh please.   ITpro? 

    Bernie is a lot more like Hillary than anything else out there that can win.  That is the fact of the matter.
