Xa uDonald Trump watshabalalisa kwaye ehlekisa ngendlalifa ka-Bush, uJeb Low Energy Bush, kwii-primaries ze-GOP ngo-2016, amehlo ajikela kusapho lweRiphabhlikhi yaseTexas. Ngaba amaBushes aya kuwela imigca yeqela ukubuyela kuHillary Clinton okanye abambelele kumphathi weRiphabhlikhi?
NgoSeptemba, uKathleen Kennedy Townsend watyhila ukuba uGeorge H. W. Bush wathi uza kuvotela uClinton, nto leyo eyathi yangqinwa sisithethi sika mongameli kamva. Unyana wakhe, uMongameli uGeorge W. Bush, wenqabile ukuxhasa uTrump, kodwa umtshana wakhe uGeorge P. Bush, uMkomishinara woMhlaba waseTexas, kwiveki ephelileyo uyeke Unokuvotela uHillary Clinton njengokuba. Kwaye owayesakuba nguMongameli wokuqala uBarbara Bush Uhlabe esidlangalaleni uTrump, efanisa umphuhlisi wezindlu nomhlekisi oza kusokola ukutsala iivoti zabasetyhini.
Kodwa ivoti elinye lowasetyhini lihlala liyinto eyimfihlakalo.
Ngo-Epreli, ngexesha lentetho kwiNgqungquthela yaBasetyhini kwiHlabathi, Umnxeba waseLondon uxele uLaura Bush watyhola ukuba uya kuvota ngedemokhrasi ngeli xesha. Ndifuna umongameli wethu olandelayo – nokuba ngubani nokuba ngubani- ukuba abe ngumntu onomdla kwabasetyhini eAfghanistan, utshilo owayesakuba yinenekazi lokuqala, obesebenze nomanduleli wakhe kulo mba.
U-Laura Bush ukwangakwicala leenkululeko kwimicimbi eliqela yezentlalo, njengokutshata kwabasetyhini kunye namalungelo okuqhomfa, ngokukaRussell Goldman ngeendaba zeABC . Kwaye wakhuliswa njengeDemokhrasi, ngokwe-CNN .
Kodwa ukuba uLaura Bush uyekile ukunqumamisa kwaye wabhengeza esidlangalaleni ukuxhasa kwakhe elinye ilungu lobukrelekrele beNenekazi lokuqala kanye phambi konyulo, kungapakisha udonga lwezopolitiko olunokuthi lubeke uClinton kwi-White House. Iphulo likaClinton lifune ngenkani iivoti zowesifazane waseRiphabhlikhi ngempumelelo ethile, kwaye uLaura Bush uhlala eyinto ethandwayo, ngaphezulu kakhulu kwendoda yakhe enempikiswano. Emva kokushiya i-White House, uGallup wafumanisa ukuba ama-76 eepesenti abantu baseMelika babenombono oqinisekileyo ngegqala lowasetyhini wokuqala, phantse ukuba babedume njengowayesakuba ngumongameli. Ngoku ka Uvavanyo lwe-Siena College's / CSPAN yabaphengululi, ababhali bembali kunye nososayensi bezopolitiko malunga neLadies Yokuqala, uLaura Bush ukhokela udidi olunokwenza okungakumbi ngelixa use-ofisini.
Kodwa ngaba uLaura Bush, njengoninazala, angayenza imbali ukuba uxhasa uHillary Clinton?
UCarl S. Anthony weThala leeNcwadi labaFazi bakaZwelonke lokuQala kunye nombhali we AmaLadies okuQala aseMelika aQhelekileyo Uyaphawula ukuba uninzi lwabafazi bakaMongameli bahlala ngaphandle kukoyikeka kwezopolitiko emva kokushiya iNdlu eNkulu, okanye baxhase umgqatswa kwiqela elinye. Kodwa kuye kwakho ukungabikho okwahlukileyo: Ngo-1932, umhlolokazi kaTeddy Roosevelt u-Edith wothusa ababukeli abaninzi ngokuxhasa uMongameli we-GOP uHerbert Hoover, owayebaleka umzala wesihlanu womyeni wakhe ongasekhoyo, naye okwenzeka ukuba atshate nomtshana womyeni wakhe ongasekhoyo, uFranklin no-Eleanor Roosevelt. Kwaye unkosikazi kaWoodrow Wilson, uEdith, wala ukuxhasa i-FDR, naye onguMdemokhrasi.
Umhlolokazi walowo wayesakuba nguMongameli weRiphabhlikhi uJames Garfield, uLucretia, akazange axhase owangena ezihlangwini zakhe uChester A. Arthur. Engazange amthembe uChester Arthur, usekela-mongameli owathatha isikhundla sobongameli emva kokubhubha komyeni wakhe, akazange abenalo unxibelelwano naye emva komngcwabo, Ubhala iwebhusayithi ILayibrari yeSizwe yaManenekazi okuQala. Kamva waba nguDemokhrasi.
Ngaba uLaura Bush uza kulandela (ibhlukhwe). Ngokuqinisekileyo uHillary Clinton uya kwamkela omnye isimanga sikaNovemba.
