Will Dubya Endorse Joe?

The Bush family is seriously considering voting for Biden.

A while back, I had some strong consideration about this.

Could a former president from a different party endorse the rival party's presidential nominee?

It was a sacred oath to not criticize the successor. But it's getting really frustrating for the four former presidents. I know that Jimmy Carter, the 39th president, Bill Clinton, the 42nd president and Barack Obama, the 44th president have endorsed former vice president Joe Biden for president.

But wouldn't it be shocking that a former Republican president just comes out and endorses the Democratic nominee for president over the Republican nominee who is currently the incumbent president?

I believed that George W. Bush, the 43rd president will come out and endorse Biden for president as a rebuke to Donald J. Trump and Republicans.

Would it be shocking that George W. Bush comes out an endorses @JoeBiden for president? #BarackObama #ObamaEndorsement

Lets get the #bushforbiden endorsement.

Tensions were simmering between Bush and Trump. It went back when his brother Jeb was then the Republican leading candidate. Trump had practically gotten free coverage from Fox News, MSNBC and CNN. His outlandish campaign for president was considered a joke. Many in the country believed he was going to get trounced in the general.

Boy we were wrong.

Trump managed to eek out a win against the global pick Hillary Clinton.

The former first lady, senator and secretary of state became the Democratic nominee for president in 2016. She faced an onslaught of misinformation from Trump, her former rival Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and the social media platforms. The social media platforms had spread gossip about Clinton's health, her emails and her role in the Benghazi tragedy. It was amplified by Russia and pushed by Trump's most loyal allies. Wikileaks also harmed Clinton by releasing the Democratic National Committee's emails.

Roger Stone, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen and many others pushed Bush and many other Republicans out for Trump.

Now with Trump in the White House we have seen "America on Fire."

We have a global pandemic where over 120,000 Americans dying from the coronavirus.

We have unrest in many American cities due to police brutality and income inequality.

We have an unemployment rate that has reached depression era levels. We have over 45 million Americans out of the labor force due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We have nearly $30 trillion in accumulated debt. The debt ceiling will have to be risen again because we're on the brink of a collapse of the economy.

The world has no faith in the United States leading. With the elections only five months away, Trump will use foreign interference to win his reelection.

The Bush family have gotten along with the Obamas, Clintons, Bidens and Carter family.

George W. Bush was never impeached despite nearly crashing the economy, running two foreign wars and dividing our country with the culture wars. He was loved by Republicans and loathed by Democrats.

Fast forward 10 years later, Bush is quiet and not making too much noise. He sits back grinding his teeth watching Trump fuck up his legacy as well as Clinton and Obama's legacies.

George W. Bush is still hated among many but he's no where near the levels as Donald J. Trump.

As usual, Fox News took a look at the claims of a Bush endorsement.

Token agitator Juan Williams said that a Bush endorsement could give Trump the ammo to label Biden a part of the status quo.

"Imagine if former President Bush, as Trump's most recent Republican predecessor, backed a Democrat. Bush’s voice has the singular power to reach moderate Republicans and Republican-leaning independent voters, freeing them to walk away from the Party of Trump," said Williams.

Hillary Clinton predicts Trump will crash the economy, destroy American values and cause global unrest. So far, she's right on most of the predictions. At the funeral for George H.W. Bush, the Trump family had a brief greeting with the formers. But during the funeral the Trump family ignored the formers.

Trump has banned Barack and Michelle Obama from the White House. Usually in the middle of the final year of a first term president, the current would unveil a portrait of the predecessor.

Trump formally cancelled the event and banned Obama from the property.

The four living presidents have quietly complained about Trump, Fox News and his controversial legacy. Obama continues to be a target of Trump.

Before the unrest, Trump was banking on "Obamagate" and "You Ain't Black" as weapons to undermine Biden.

George W. Bush endorsing Joe Biden for president. Would it be a good idea or bad idea?

Yes. It would show that Republicans are fed up with President Donald Trump. Former president George W. Bush still carries some weight within the party and it could shake up the election.

No. It would be used as a weapon. President Donald Trump will complain about former presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama sabotaging his presidency. He will say that they represent the tired ways of Washington and he's a "change agent."

Endorsements won't change my vote. I will vote only on issues and my political standings.

Please Specify:

Right now with unrest in the country and the lack of empathy for Americans frustrated with social norms in the country, Bush is likely to speak out against Trump.

Bush's dad, the late George H.W. Bush was no fan of Trump. The 41st president was angry over the way Trump insulted the late senator and 2008 Republican presidnetial nominee John McCain. It was told that every time Trump spoke on television, the former president would throw his shoe at his image.
