Former first lady Laura Bush offered a curt response Thursday when asked if she would vote for Republican frontrunner Donald Trump.
“Susan, I’m not going to answer,” Bush said after USA Today’s Susan Page asked if she would back the billionaire real estate mogul if he becomes the party’s nominee. “Don’t ask that.”
“We got off the sidelines for Jeb. He was our candidate,” she said.
Bush hasn’t publicly backed another Republican since her brother-in-law, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, left the race in February.
Page pressed her on whether she feels compelled to get off the sidelines again to oppose a candidate who said Islam hates America and proposed a ban on Muslim immigration.
“This is what I want Americans to remember, our real values. One of the reasons we’re a country is because we believe in freedom of religion,” Bush responded.
She also said the country has “become sort of isolationist and xenophobic” at other times in our history, according to The Hill.

Given what Trump said in a nationally televised debate about her husband, that has to be one of the dumbest questions Laura Bush has ever been asked.
Any quote from Laura Bush should necessarily include “She said, with a doll’s dead, dead eyes”.
I find it funny her face is starting to morph into Fiorina’s, though.
sort of???
Few if any major players in the Republican party, save Romney, are willing to give a full-throated, very public repudiation of Trump and declare they will decline to support him. That speaks volumes to their personal code of ethics and morals. If, in some hypothetical scenario, David Duke or Pam Geller or Ann Coulter were in Trump’s position, the leading candidate for the Republican nod, would they still decline to voice their disapproval? In fact I think they would remain silently neutral or get behind anyone against a Democrat. They’re sick people.
Right. Trump will lose at least 40 states, and maybe more. And Republicans will have no one to blame but themselves.
