With news that former Presidents George H.W. and George W. Bush plan to sit out the 2016 election rather than support presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, LifeZette Editor-in-Chief Laura Ingraham posited that the family may as well get behind Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

Ingraham’s comments Thursday on her nationally syndicated radio show echo a warning she issued long before the political situation got here. As far back as February 2015, at the Conservative Political Action Conference — before Trump was a blip on the political radar — Ingraham warned that former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush shared too many similarities with Clinton to effectively combat her in a general election.

Ingraham noted that the pair shared support for the following: Common Core education standards, amnesty for illegal immigrants, fast-track trade negotiating authority for President Obama, and the “surveillance culture” permeating government agencies.

“Why don’t we just call it quits,” she quipped. “And Jeb and Hillary can run on the same ticket … So, I’m designing the bumper sticker. It could be, ‘Clush 2016: What Difference Does It Make?'”

On “The Laura Ingraham Show,” a number of callers expressed disgust that the Bushes are taking their ball and going home:

CALLER ONE: “It’s sour grapes. I mean, they didn’t get their way, so they’re going to go home and pout now? I mean, this is ridiculous. This is a past president of the United States. He should be doing everything he can to promote his party’s ticket, and they’re gonna go home, and as you said, paint.”

CALLER TWO: “I am so upset at the Bushes, Laura, [and] what they’re doing to Donald Trump. You know what? It’s not fair. I was born in Iraq. And when President Bush invaded Iraq, I was happy, because I thought he was going to topple Saddam Hussein and everything would have been fine. And it looks like I’m so upset that I’ve been voting for Republicans all these years. And it looks like I was just voting for wolves in the sheep clothes. And I’m so upset at the GOP. Those Establishment people, they don’t care about regular people like us, working every day. And they’re just not giving us a chance at all, Laura.”

CALLER THREE: “I just think that there’s a denial — [Senate Majority Leader Mitch] McConnell’s tepid endorsement, the Bushes, they’re sitting it out. You have John McCain in Arizona saying that he’s worried about getting re-elected. Either A, he knows his biggest threat is his primary on August 30th against Kelli Ward, or [B] he’s just in denial, just like you said everybody else [was]. He’s one of those centralists, Establishment that’s just in denial of the movement that could overwhelm us. I don’t know if he’s more scared of the general or his primary.”
