Could the chance exist that between now and the November election former President George W. Bush will call a news conference and announce he is supporting Hillary Clinton for President and urge his fellow Texans and the American people to do the same. The former President, now a civilian would be in a good position to do so and restore at least some sense of responsibility in his retired life.
Bush, like Donald Trump could not admit to any mistakes while serving as President and in fact said he made the right decision in invading Iraq. Trump's economic policy and foreign policy is the same as Bush pushed. The big difference with Trump is he can not admit to any mistake in his personal or business life and would act the same as President.
Bush's personal and business life was and is different than Trumps. Bush was not ego driven or looked for the spotlight nor was he married three times. This writer believes that Bush knows very well how wrong his foreign and economic policies were for the country and its people and even knows and understands that Iraq was indeed an unnecessary war that did so much damage. He also knows Trump's Presidency if elected would do the same damage to the country.
So Bush the civilian and former President could step up to the plate, make such an announcement and spare the country another sad chapter in its history. It would also be something good for the former President's piece of mind in his retirement years.
