Did I hear this on MSNBC this morning correctly???

Some show host (I think Stephanie Ruhle) said that GW Bush admitted he voted for Hillary in the General (but GOP in the downballot)?

It was on when I was tuning it (and it was bc -- before coffee) and before I opened my NYT....

I haven't seen anything posted here so I thought I'd ask...

they must really abhor Trump and fear for their country...and they have been absolutely correct. I never thought I'd think well of GWB (and I don't think poorly of his father) but this tells us volumes...

"The elder Bush voted for Hillary Clinton, while his son voted for neither Trump nor his Democratic challenger, or ”none of the above,“ said Mark K. Updegrove, who wrote ”The Last Republicans” with the cooperation of the two Bushes. HarperCollins will publish the book on Nov. 14."

Daddy bush voted for HRC and boy george voted for none of the above. I'm assuming no one was with him in the booth to tell him what he thinks, so he took a pass.
