Hillary Clinton invokes unlikely allies on the stump — the Bushes [View all]

Hillary Clinton praised a former president to a crowd of cheering liberal supporters earlier this month as “absolutely committed” and unwavering in his support of one of her causes.

The man she spoke of was not her husband, Bill Clinton, or Barack Obama, whom she hopes to succeed. It was George W. Bush — long one of the left’s most potent villains.

If this gets locked because of a TOS violation, then I beg your pardon. Sometimes, I don't know which forum it should be posted in so I just make an educated guess. Regardless, this needs to be posted. I realize that the most important thing this fall is to make sure Trump is not president and I completely agree. But I'm not digging the presumptive pandering to conservatives.
