When asked who they would be supporting for President, both George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush* said they would be sitting this one out.
Just reported on CBS late nite news....

(9,314 posts)The reason I find this amazingly funny is because I absolutely despise George W. Bush*. I thought he was the worst of the worst. So today we find him saying he will sit out the election. I just can't think of anything that is a bigger insult than George W. Bush* of all people publicly casting his "no" vote the day after Trump is declared the nominee. Does it get any worse than that???

(4,835 posts)Sure, he had a string of failures (like Trump) but when we want to point to how disastrous it is to put someone from the business sector in the White House.

(9,314 posts)The founding fathers wanted to the Federal Government to have the financial ability to jump in and help a state which suddenly found itself with severe difficulties. States do have to balance their budgets annually, and so there is not a whole lot in reserve should a state suffer a catastrophic event. So the idea that the Federal Government should have a balanced budget is not realistic nor is it a business. It is the government which is supposed to hold this Country together in one piece by protecting the states and their citizens when a legitimate need arises.
Yes, Bush was as good of a businessman just as swell as he was as President.

Colbert just had a skit featuring God commenting on Trump. When Colbert asked about Sanders, God responded that guy is older than I am. I am moving to Canada!
Okay, I need some laughs. Hopefully, you do as well.
