George H.W. Bush calls Trump a 'blowhard' in new book: 'I don't like him'

[RoosGirl]

Oh shit. Here we go. I better get a beer and a sandwich for this one.

I'm so glad you're entertained by my straightening out nonsense.  Some of us don't take kindly to some of that bullshit being unloaded that is intended to impugn the integrity of other members.

You go sister. Just cracked my beer.

I have a suggestion for what you can do with the bottle, you don't even need to wait until it's empty.

Use a coaster?

Use a coaster?

That too.

That too.

Well good. I thought you were telling me something far more different.

Every single ex-President voted against Donny. That makes Trump an even better President than I thought.

Wait a minute.  Are you trying to say dead people vote Democrap?

[Silver Pines]

I wish he hadn't done that, but let's face it.  A lot of our merry band of brothers here voted for Hillary.

Maybe not literally, but by sanctimoniously refusing to vote for Trump and voting for some obscure third or fourth party candidate, they were voting for Hillary.

I've read many, many posts to that effect, especially shortly after the election.

It's died down now because Trump has been a good president but it happened.

And, yes, I do cut 93-year-olds some slack.

@Emjay

Nah, you just fangirl over your favorite politicians, that's all.  They can do no wrong.  No different from the hardcore Trump worshippers.

As for voting for Hillary, it's impossible to figuratively do so.  You literally do it, or not at all.  That part of your post is one of the dumbest things I've read here.

The rest of it is pure, oozing hypocrisy and projection.  It's been shown, in stark black and white, that you were the only one entertaining the idea of casting a vote for her. 

So just sit down.

She's not wrong at all, @CatherineofAragon

And all the mandates of owners and/or moderators to the contrary (to keep any semblance of peace on the threads) won't change that fact.

@Emjay has MORE than 'acquitted' herself, since last Nov 8th in her postings defending and/or praising the President. 

YOU, OTOH??

Am outraged that you're able to get away with viciously attacking/insulting her person (and loyal Trump supporters)...in your typical haughty fashion.

Bullshit.   I voted 3rd party too..... so now you're attempting to say that "I" voted for Hillary too?

Absolute bullshit.   And.... if I HAD voted for the wretch.... I sure as hell wouldn't be bragging about it or admitting it afterwards.  That would show just how far left I really was.....just as it exposes old man Bush.  Your attempt to defend Herbert has failed.  Miserably.

The irony here is no doubt lost on you.... that you are defending Emjay.... who is defending Bush.... who is attacking Trump.   You just can't make this chit up.

I don't understand why it is SO damned important for some here to sell this FALSE meme!  My voting for someone other than Trump was NOT, and never will be, a vote FOR Hillary! 

Continuing to push that crap at this point is insanity!

@DCPatriot

Stifle your outrage and get back to me if I ever refer to her as a bitch.  Okay?  (I personally don't view it as an insult, but most would, objectively).

I didn't name anyone in my post---just made note of the fact that there are hardcore Trump worshippers.  I wasn't even necessarily referring to this forum.  So why are you yelping?   

I won't get into the obvious problematic issue of loyalty to politicians/government employees/public servants.

I voted for Castle, which means I voted for both Trump and HRC, because I didn't vote for Stein.

Math is hard.

[TomSea]

Very proud I voted for Trump, I didn't abandon social conservative issues, 2nd amendment rights, etc. and we take a victory lap on this and anything else that improves.  We have saved the nation. The last 3 presidents caused a mess on foreign policy like with North Korea. Oh, yes, voting to preserve ideological purity, that's really impressive.

Mods are going to close this, it's gotten too negative.

DCPatriot is correct.

[ConstitutionRose]

I don't know why this is even in the news, much less a topic of discussion.  The family should keep the elder President Bush away from reporters and strangers for obvious reasons. 

Trump is a blow hard.  Some people like that about him.  Pretending Trump is something other than what he is makes no sense.  He certainly doesn't pretend to be something other than himself. 

I think the tendency to fasten onto small, meaningless things is a distraction from the important issues.  The press sure does love pitching this stuff out there there and watching the feeding frenzy.

Well, in this case, Bush wrote a book.

I guess being a blowhard is better than being a blowsoft.

QFT.

In the end, we need to respect everyone's opinion. That's important. Senator Cotton was saying that about one of those Republican Senators like Susan Collins. How he deeply disagreed with her position on the Healthcare bill but still respected the opinion.

Sorry, Tom, but respect is earned.  Some opinions just aren't worthy of respect.
