On Fri Mar 18, 2016, 01:29 PM an alert was sent on the following post:
H2O Man
31. Well, thanks, H2O Man.
I purposely did not ask you, because your OP's are always so long and boring.
REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
H2O Man calls H2O Man 'long and boring.' This is an ugly personal attack and should not be allowed to stand on DU. I've always found H2O Man's OP's to be succinct and interesting.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Mar 18, 2016, 01:29 PM, and the Jury voted to MAKE FUN OF IT.
Juror #1 voted to BOOKMARK IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I hate it when people talk to themselves.
Juror #3 voted LET THEM HAVE AT IT
Explanation: The two commenters were provoking each other. Wrong to suppress one of them. The spat is a little personal but I wouldn't suppress it.
Juror #4 voted LEAVE ME ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to ELECT HILLARY
Explanation: OP was very persuasive in favor of the former SoS.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: These types of responses make DU suck! Stop this shit. DU can be better than this!
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't see any personal attack, just a minor slur, to be expected in primary season. I almost voted to hide, but didn't because the poster appears to be bored.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

Probably neither. They'll just have another cocktail and a good laugh.

I think the Bush family will either stay neutral on this or support Trump in that order

The Bush's will support the Republican Party and fall politely in line with their nominee.

If the contest is between Clinton and Trump, who do you believe the Bush family will be supporting?

Clinton, no question about it. The Bush crime family and the Clintons together have deep roots.

Who cares? Why does it matter on DU what the Bush family does in their private lives?

It's an artful smear, to imply that whoever the Bushes support must be "the worst."

It's an obvious attempt to tarnish Hillary by connecting W and company to her.

Bush Pere endorsed Edwin Edwards (D) against David Duke (R-KKK) so there is precedent...

This is what is known as "guilt-by-association" and I'm not falling for it.

They will support HRC, but quietly. Their surrogates (like W's speechwriter Michael Gerson) are

Clinton. She will continue the wars in the ME and protect the Bush's oil legacy.

The Bush family would support Clinton over Trump (and, behind the scenes, Clinton over Cruz).

My guess.....It`s a "birds of a feather" thing so the Bush family would most likely support Hillary.

They will support Clinton because they know she will maintain the status-quo

I suspect they'll quietly sit it out. Not because they love Hillary, but cuz they can't stand Trump.

They won't openly support anyone, but privately they will be pulling for Clinton.
