Hundreds of Former Aides to Bush, Romney, and McCain Endorse Harris

Elizabeth Weibel 26 Aug 2024

Hundreds of former aides who served under Republican lawmakers endorsed Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, stating that “another four years” of a Trump administration would “hurt real, everyday” Americans.

In a letter that USA Today obtained, a group of more than 200 former aides for former President George W. Bush, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), and former Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) write that they are reuniting and joining with former staffers for former President George H.W. Bush to endorse Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D).

“We reunite today, joined by new George H.W. Bush alumni, to reinforce our 2020 statements and, for the first time, jointly declare that we’re voting for Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz this November,” the letter states.

The letter from the former aides comes years after hundreds of aides to Bush and McCain endorsed President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.

Among the people who signed the letter were David Bentley, who served as the legislative staff assistant to McCain; Tomas Bilbao, who served as the deputy director of operations at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under former President George W. Bush; and Vicki Blanton, who served as the director of scheduling for Romney’s presidential campaign in 2012.

“Of course, we have plenty of honest, ideological disagreements with Vice President Harris and Gov. Walz,” the aides add in the letter. “That’s to be expected. The alternative, however, is simply untenable.”

These people are scum.  You don't have to like Trump or even vote for him, but you sure as heck don't endorse the Commies either.

Basically a group of self-righteous, self-contradicting hypocrites with zero credibility and intellectual integrity.

Note to the Harris campaign and the leftist scum at USA today.  If you are going to prepare a "crossover" blockbuster, at least have 1 person someone has heard of.

Looking at the list, it is easy to see that likely 90% of these are the GOP contributions to the Swamp.  It apperars we are seeing 2L-4L bureacrats who fear for their job if Trump is elected.   And in the entire epic 36 years of the Bush-McCain-Romney era, you were only able find 200?  That is pretty sad for itself. 

Here is the pdf list if anyone is interested.

Deep State bureaucrats do not care who is in charge, as long as the taxpayer-funded paychecks keep coming.

I see that a lot of those nobody staffers were from McCain's office and 2008 campaign...I wonder if they were the ones who were shivving Sarah Palin from the inside?

Staffers. The real vanguard of the Deep State. They are the ones who work behind the scenes to slow walk good policy and push bad. They leak. It doesn't matter who they worked for except to show they are pervasive as Hell throughout the Swamp.

To think this country will be brought to it's knees by decades of snot nosed, entitled Ivy League brats.

The burearcratic swamp?

Yeah, I 'd be nervous too, when someone is finally on to their schtick , which is basically them being paid for zero services.

Time for this gig to be up, and join the private sector like the rest of the hard working folks.

Meh. IF the private sector would have them. These are people who cook up solutions and then go looking for a problem they can slap it on. I don't think industry needs any more of that than they already get from the Government.

Only one word comes to mind; Despicable!

[DefiantMassRINO]

Bush, McCain, Romney - responsible for the current state of the Republican party.  In 2016, Trump was the symptom, not the disease.  Trump won by running as the Republican anti-hero.

I don't think they could compete at that level. In the private sector results matter.

It's nice of them to self-identify.

Yeah, the termites are still coming out of the woodwork...

One endorses Harris if one does not oppose her being elected.
