Laura Bush hints she'd rather see Hillary as president

[kpete]

“I want our next president – whoever he or she might be – to be somebody who is interested in women in Afghanistan and who will continue US policies… that we continue to do what we're committed to do as a country,” she said, as she appeared on stage alongside her twin daughters Jenna and Barbara.

“That's who I want - or the kind of people that will do that and will pay attention to our history, and know what's what's happened before and know specifically how we can continue to do the good things that we do around the world.”

Many in the packed auditorium took her words as a coded criticism of Mr Trump, whose foreign policy plans have been condemned as isolationist and weak on detail.

2. No mystery there

[Sunlei]

3. wow, never in a million years thought the Jeb Bush name is not even mentioned by family in 2016

fine with me, he's out and not either of the Twins will ever be president, Laura. Tell them to get a real job.

[Android3.14]

4. Wow, Laura sees Hillary as a return to the Bush years

[BuelahWitch]

5. Well, according to Bush II, Hillary IS family...n/t

6. Birds of a feather. Denigrate Carter and celebrate Laura Bush? Who are the Hilary Supporters?

That is really quite frightening on the surface. Denigrate Carter on foreign policy or his knowledge of world affairs. He was a wonderful president. The man who had the only policy in the middle east that brought about a lasting peace treaty.

And then you have Laura Bush ...

That is some messed up stuff. Anti democratic with both a little b and a big B

[merrily]

7. This should speak volumes to Democrats, especially to those who try to blame

Dimson for everything that has gone wrong in the past quarter century.

[Mary Mac]

8. Educating and protecting women the only hope to bring muslim countries into the current century

Is to concentrate on the education and liberation of their women. You go girl!!

[MrMickeysMom]

9. Yes... Let's bring them to heel, good people...

Quite...

[djean111]

11. Let's bring them, and their children, and brothers, and husbands, the gift of war!!!!!!!!! n/t

19. I dare you to go over there and try it. Hold on to your head!

[colsohlibgal]

10. No Shock At All

This should cause Hillaryites to maybe question who they are backing but it won't.

[Stallion]

12. Laura is a Democrat

13. Laura comes from a family of Democrats, FWIW

She has also praised the Obamas, and has hinted that she is pro-choice and pro-same-sex marriage.

I think she still has some liberal views but has been quiet about it out of respect to her husband. That's just my opinion, though. YMMV.

[Blasphemer]

15. Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if GWB was the only Republican she ever voted for... nt

[AlbertCat]

16. Yes!

Laura is really a Democrat (unlike Bernie! )

[Rex]

14. That's okay, Dick Cheney said something nice about HRC last year.

They don't really want to admit that they would vote for her over Clown Prince Trump or Sith Lord Cruz.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

17. Because they're cocktail party buddies. nt

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

18. Of course she does. It's hilarious that you are touting that!

I've truly never seen "democrats" the like of the Hillary supporters.
