George Shultz, who served as secretary of state under President Ronald Reagan, is not on board with Donald Trump.
“God help us,” he said at a Hoover Institution event in Palo Alto, California, on Monday when asked about the possibility of Trump becoming president, according to the Washington Post.
He said that the United States political system “has gone off the rails,” according to the Post.
As Trump continues to be unwilling to change his campaign style, more prominent Republicans have openly said they cannot support the presidential nominee. A few have even said they plan on voting for Hillary Clinton.
Shultz also criticized Senate Republicans for blocking President Obama’s nominees.
“You’re trying to attract ‘A’ players to come into the government,” he said, according to the Post. “If people weren’t getting blocked, you could get ‘A’ players.”
But he added that the Obama administration should have focused more on working with Congress.
“Get back to the old-fashioned way, and we’ll be able to govern much better!” he said.
I feel your pain, Mr Schulz. But let’s put the blame where it belongs: on the Fourth Estate. The media has failed us, put in motion by your boss repealing the Fairness Doctrine.
Thanks, Ronnie!
Almost there Georgie…but when you laze out with the ‘Obama should have worked more with Congress’ it makes you a Lesser Statesman. YOU CAN DO IT.
Schulz was first eligible to vote in FDR’s third term. Doesn’t mean the GOP will listen to him though.
Seriously George? That is a bunch of Bull - you know damn well that the GOP made the pronouncement - even before Obama was inaugurated - that they would oppose everything Obama sought to do - with the objective of trying to be able to proclaim that he had a 'failed presidency"
Those Democrats of us old enough to know who George is, may feel some satisfaction from this, but the fact is that no one on the fence really cares what Schultz thinks.
