Will George W. Bush Vote For Joe Biden? How About Other Bushies?

There is an article in the New York Times that claims knowledge of the fact that former President George W. Bush will not be voting for President Trump in November. This isn’t much of a surprise, frankly, as Bush didn’t vote for Trump in 2016. In order to justify a claim about a former president’s decision, in favor of the Democrat candidate, of course, the author goes through a whole list of Republicans and former military officers who will not be supporting Trump.

Despite the fact that Trump has been more conservative than either Bush (father or son) as president in some areas, Republicans willing to vote for Joe Biden risk the loss of continued appointment of conservative judges, sustaining business-friendly regulations and cutting taxes. Apparently it is more important to voice disgust over how Trump speaks than voting in favor of actual policies. And many see the breaking point now over Trump’s handling of the Black Lives Matter protests.

Is former President George W. Bush going to vote for Joe Biden?

George W. Bush isn’t going to vote for Trump. Neither is JEB! There is too much bitterness from 2016. George P. Bush, son of JEB! currently in office in Texas will likely vote for Trump, who has endorsed him in the past. George W.’s spokesman says the NYT article is fake news.

Freddy Ford, a spokesman for Bush, told The Texas Tribune that Bush would steer clear of speaking publicly on his presidential vote and called The New York Times assertion false.

“This is completely made up,” Ford said in an email. “He is retired from presidential politics and has not indicated how he will vote.”

At this point, these public officials who are coming after Trump with criticism may fail to understand that the very reason they use now will likely benefit Trump in November. Depending how events play out, Trump will likely benefit with voters for sounding strong on law and order, in support of law enforcement. Suburban women want to feel secure and with Democrats continuing to deny violent protesters and chaos in cities, it will not bode well for Joe Biden. No one looks at Joe Biden and thinks “strength”.

Team Biden will roll out “Republicans for Biden” later in the campaign. He just doesn’t want to do it too soon because he knows the far left will be appalled at any perceived outreach to Republicans.

It is fake news from Freddy Ford. New York Times is a bastion of fake news.

Joe Biden is planning to do Republicans For Biden. The far left is going to be appalled no matter what and when it is rolled out.

Quite likely, they are much closer to being establishment Dems than they are to being actual Conservatives.  They see Slow Joe as the standard bearer of 'Business as usual' as a symbol with no recognition at all of the fact that he is mentally in Lala-land and will be a marionette on which their precious Old Boys won't be pulling the strings, but the wealthy far Left of the Soros variety will.  They may realize he's just a tool, but they foolishly believe they and their bros will have a say in how he gets used.  They're quite mistaken about that.

The lineage/heritage of the Bush Family is British, commencing w/John in 1500.
Their vocation has always been establishment politics which is why the current
Bush Clan is increasingly left of center.
Whether or not any of them vote for Trump is a guess at best.
More importantly what should  obvious is that they have nothing to in common
w/Principled Conservatism and never had, as their governance makes clear.

The Bushes were okay in their time, but now they're pretty much irrelevant.

If Alphonse Capote Gore had succeeded in stealing Florida, the consequences would be too horrible to imagine.
