Character: One With, One Without


Showing character: Former Michigan Republican Governor William Milliken endorsed Hillary Clinton for President, saying that his party's nominee -- neo-fascist bigot Donald "Rump" Trump -- has shown a contempt for civility, tolerance and equality, adding:
"Because I feel so strongly about our nation's future, I will be joining the growing list of former and present government officials in casting my vote for Hillary Clinton for president in 2016." 
Showing a lack of character: Texas Land Commissioner and Bush family trust funder George P. Bush, John Ellis "J.E.B.!" Bush's son -- has decided to back his father's tormentor and throw in his lot with Rump. Clearly the young Bush, whose mother was born in Mexico, has visions of a political future at least among the far-right teatards in Tex-ass, but as for showing some spine? Not so much. Should make for some interesting conversation around the table.
