First George H.W. Bush said he would vote for Hillary Clinton; now it turns out a daughter of George W. Bush, Barbara Bush, attends a Clinton fundraiser in Paris – with Huma Abedin no less.
Abedin, much hated by Republicans as some sort of alleged Muslim fifth columnist, hosted the event along with Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.

That’s two Bushes apparently now with her, while Jeb Bush has said he won’t vote for either candidate and Barbara’s father has not yet revealed for whom he will vote.
Trump is rapidly running out of big name Republican allies, as hardly a day goes by without one Republican or another endorsing Clinton, including several prominent conservative newspapers. The Trump cause appears to be sinking, and he has only himself to blame.
Conservative pundit S.E. Cupp noted that conservatives like Bush don’t recognize their conservatism in Trump, but that Trump doesn’t think he needs conservatives like the Bushes.
Of course, all Trump has in his corner at this point are racists and other bigots, and a few stragglers like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, who embody all the ugliness preached by Trump.
Barbara Bush has shown in this single classy gesture, that you can hold your head up high as a conservative show you still want what’s best for this country, rather than what’s best for Donald Trump.

Hrafnkell Haraldsson, a social liberal with leanings toward centrist politics has degrees in history and philosophy. His interests include, besides history and philosophy, human rights issues, freedom of choice, religion, and the precarious dichotomy of freedom of speech and intolerance. He brings a slightly different perspective to his writing, being that he is neither a follower of an Abrahamic faith nor an atheist but a polytheist, a modern-day Heathen who follows the customs and traditions of his Norse ancestors. He maintains his own blog, A Heathen’s Day, which deals with Heathen and Pagan matters, and Mos Maiorum Foundation www.mosmaiorum.org, dedicated to ethnic religion. He has also contributed to NewsJunkiePost, GodsOwnParty and Pagan+Politics.
