Former US Presidents George W Bush Snr And Jnr Will Not Endorse Donald Trumps by Nobody: 6:04pm On May 05, 2016
For the first time since his own presidency, former President George H.W. Bush Snr is planning to stay silent in the race for the Oval Office and the younger former president Bush plans to stay silent as well.

George W Bush Snr will not endorse Donald Trump's candidacy for president, his aides have told local media. This marks a first for the 91-year-old, who has endorsed Republicans in the past five elections.

Bush had campaigned this year for former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who exited the race in February and had supported past Republican presidential nominees John McCain in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012.

Trump is now the presumptive Republican Party representative for the U.S Presidency elections.

“At age 91, President Bush is retired from politics,” Donald Trump's spokesman Jim McGrath told The Texas Tribune.

“He came out of retirement to do a few things for Jeb, but those were the exceptions that proved the rule.” His son Jeb Bush dropped out of the GOP presidential race in February.

Bush Jnr meanwhile, "does not plan to participate in or comment on the presidential campaign," according to his personal aide, Freddy Ford.

It is not unrealistic. It will take a long time before a gay president is elected however. Most Americans are still very conservative.

Liberal sjw will support anything. They need to be stopped before they ruin the entire country with their crazy ideology

A gay/lesbian president is a realistic proposition. But like Missy89 said, its gonna take a long time (12-16 yrs) before that happens.

Looks like someone dislikes the SJWs cheesy

I disagree with you that most Americans are conservative. Infact, according to recent clear politics polling, conservatives are about 22% of the US population . They are just loud noisemakers .

Not so fast, my Luv, Hold it right there before you brainwash my people further! grin This prophecy has been fulfilled by Barack Obama & his transsexual wife Michelle - who was born Michael LaVaughn Robinson and the 2nd son of Fraser Robinson - (A well known cocaine dealer & union thug for Mayor Richard J. Daley in Chicago)

And this was the reason Joan Rivers was killed after making the comment about Michelle Obama being a transsexual live on TV. In Joan's word - It is a well known secret that Barack Obama is gay and Michelle is a tranny.

I also heard Obama's favourite “body man” (Reggie Love) was given a very generous “severance package” arranged by Obama's wealthy banking friend (Orin Kramer) to hush Reggie Love up & ensure he was not tempted to write a tell-all book after leaving Obama's stable of males. grin

Missy - Not to worry, I won't believe these spurious allegations until I watch it live on CNN. grin cheesy grin

Picture 3: Obama smiling gayishly at Reggie Love for an impending “3some ritual” that was about taking place with their new initiate - Marvin Nicholson. grin

37 Percent right, 35 percent moderate and 24 percent Liberals.

They are the majority when it comes to political ideology in the US. The liberals are actually the minority. However, Most US college professors are liberal (over 90 percent). So most college degree holders tend to be more liberal. They switch overtime thou when they get older. That is why most conservative intellectuals have been on the left once.

That's why some state republican lawmakers are introducing legislation that essentially limits the voting rights of typical college-aged students.

If only adults aged 30 and above were allowed to vote, we would be talking about President Romney.

Moreover, most of the liberal professors usually teach liberal arts classes ie political science, sociology, global studies etc. Business/finance profs are overwhelmingly conservative or centrist.

That type of legislation is a good thing. There is no ideological balance in American colleges anymore.

Thomas Sowell (former Marxist) described it perfectly in his 1986 essay. he said :

When bright, educated young people are choosing careers, those who believe who believe in a free market economy often choose careers in that economy. Those opposed to such an economy are more likely to become intellectuals, politicians, lawyers, or parts of various liberal or radical movements. For the intellectual and political battles, the deck stacked, both quantitatively and qualitatively. The political left sends it’s A team into battle against the B team of its critics, who have their A team in the marketplace. The historic drift to the left in the Western world over the generations reflects in good part this imbalance in the world of ideas, rather than any success of left-wing politics when actually put into practice. Such policies have a record of economic disaster around the world, especially in Communist countries, but they are roaring success politically in maintaining support of academic and media intellectuals.

All that has prevented the total and conclusive victory of political left are the defections from its own ranks- people who have been following the facts and have become fed up with what they have seen. Most of the leading figures who oppose the liberals and leftists in the United States are former liberals and leftists. Ronald Reagan and Milton Friedman were both liberals at one time. As a member of the liberal-left Americans for Democratic Action, Ronald Reagan called Barry Goldwater a “fascist.” Friedman had a hand in drafting some of the New Deal legislation he now bitterly attacks. Irving Kristol, the godfather of neo-conservatism, was once a Marxist. Such other leading neo-conservatives as Nathan Glazer and Norman Podhoretz were once prominent supporters of liberal causes. Among blacks today regarded as “conservative,” virtually all were once either liberal or leftists. Harvard professor Glenn Loury, who has criticized preferential treatment programs in recent years, was defending such programs earlier this decade. Walter Williams was such a vocal radical, while serving as a young draftee in the U.S. Army, that he was court-martialed.

I think the determining factor on who occupies the oval office is who Hillary picks as running mate...Sanders should do cos he appeals to most whites (young & old)...A wrong choice from Hillary and the democratic party will just about be the end of it all.

You are qouting one polls out of tens of polls out there and Gallup poll is bent towards the political right. Even for argument sake of minus 4 or plus 4 that the polls take, 37% is not MAJORITY of Americans. That's my point of contention. Most of these polling outfits have their political bends too because most of them are funded by Superpacs.

You are so wrong you dont even know it.

How is the Gallup poll bent to the right? do you have any evidence for this? The question was about political ideologies. The conservatives polls higher than any other group which makes them the majority in that respect. Keep in mind most moderates are split between the two.

Superpacs dont fund polls. They pay them during election to gather data.

What an eye opening article. So I take it that you want the minimum voting age to be increased? But that won't be a very popular move today.

I don't think Hillary would pick someone older than her, or a nationally celebrated liberal like Elizabeth Warren. Liz Warren as the running mate would take the shine off of Hillary; in fact, she would attract much more massive crowds on the stump than Hillary.

HRC will go for a younger (mid forties to mid fifties) politician that leans liberal. The person could be a man or woman. The person Hillary picks should be someone that's ready to run for president in 2020 or 2024.

If she wins. There is a good probability that she wont be a 2 term president. But that depends on how fast the GOP can rebuild.

Saying they don't ( Superpacs ) fund polling outfits is wrong. They don't fund all but some of the polling outfits have their agendas too ala Fox News polling and Gallup. Even with that, accepting your assertion, 37% like I said is not a majority. Polls like this are fluids. Depends on how the questions are asked.

So are you going to post the names of these superpacs or should just take your word for it?

I guess it depends on how you ask the question. In the poll that gives voters two choices -- liberal or conservative -- conservatives have consistently been the majority.
