Exclusive: Hundreds of George W. Bush administration officials to back Biden, group says
2020-07-02
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Hundreds of officials who worked for former Republican President George W. Bush are set to endorse Democratic White House hopeful Joe Biden, people involved in the effort said, the latest Republican-led group coming out to oppose the re-election of Donald Trump.

The officials, who include Cabinet secretaries and other senior people in the Bush administration, have formed a political action committee - 43 Alumni for Biden - to support the former vice president in his Nov. 3 race, three organizers of the group told Reuters. Bush was the country’s 43rd president.

The Super PAC will launch on Wednesday with a website and Facebook page, they said. It plans to release "testimonial videos" praising Biden from high-profile Republicans and will hold get-out-the-vote efforts in the most competitive states.

The group is the latest of a number of Republican organizations opposing Trump’s re-election, yet another sign that he has alienated some in his own party, most recently with his response to the coronavirus pandemic and nationwide protests over racial injustice and police brutality against Black Americans.

#13  Venezuela['s revolution was more or less instigated and supported by Russia. That's how I know they're communist.

You ignore this. That's how I know you're a communist.

Communism isn't an economic system, it's a political system that masquerades as an economic system. that's how you can make snarky snows of support to the countries that support Iran's bomb program and are bombing Syria flat so they'll have a launch platform to use against Israel.

#11  Hundreds of officials who worked for former Republican President George W. Bush

Makes you wonder how many are still working for the Feds and / or are now lobbyists, probably most of them.

At least we now have a confirming data point for the existence of the Republican Beltway Party - go along to get along, have a nice uneventful DC career, draw a pension, hit the lecture circuit, do some lobbying or get a no heavy lifting BS job at a nonprofit.

#10  The DOD's budget is enormous and it's still is stretched to the limit trying to get Raider bombers, new ICBMS and Columbia class SBNNs built. Along with the ongoing costs of the F-35 and the Virginia class SSNs. It's time to stop dropping bombs and pushing troops into the line of fire and get rebuilt.

#9  So the globalist open borders chamber of commerce swamp elites want a senile President they can control and manipulate to further destroy America. I for one welcome the list headed by Romney, Paul Ryan, Colin Powell, John Bolton....

Get in the game Trump... tear down anything named Bush and rename the ‘George Bush Center of Intelligence’

#8  These elites have been pushing Trump to go to war with Venezuela and Iran ever since he got into office. Russia is definitely on the list. I hope we like cemeteries full of dead Americans, because that's about what we're going to get. If you liked the Iraq war, it's going to be a whole lot worse.

#5  Not Iran or Venezuela, Margaret. But Russia, which betrayed World Revolution, for sure. And, obviously, the Zionist entity.

#4  Elite warmonger endorsement of Biden. Need anyone say more?

If Biden wins we'll be at war with Iran, Venezuela, Russia, and a couple of other countries nobody has heard of. Dead Americans, wasted money, all so they can play the game of thrones.
