Former President George Herbert Walker Bush voted for Hillary Clinton. I voted for Charlie Baker. What is that saying about when pigs fly. My vote for Charlie Baker was hardly an heroic act of patriotism. It was not a profile in courage. He is direct, honest, and productive. However, how bad must it be when a former President, Vice President, UN Ambassador, Director of the CIA, Congressman, and war hero cannot vote for his party’s nominee? He described the current occupant of the White House as a “blowhard.” For the record, George W. Bush voted for none of the above. And how bad is it when a former president asks the current president to stay away from his wife’s funeral? The deceased President represents what was right about the Republican Party. He made the country safer and richer. The current President makes us less safe, and himself richer.
