Presidential candidate Donald Trump wants to bring unity to the Republican Party, but he will not be getting endorsements from the last two men the party sent to the White House.

兩位布什前總統拒絕支持川普

George W. Bush, who served two terms before President Barack Obama was elected in 2008, "does not plan to participate in or comment on" this year's race, according to his aide.

A spokesman for Bush's father, George H.W. Bush, said the elder former president is "retired from politics." He left office in 1993 after losing his re-election bid to Bill Clinton.

The elder Bush endorsed Clinton's 1996 Republican opponent Bob Dole, and naturally supported his son's successful campaigns in 2000 against Al Gore and in 2004 against John Kerry.

In 2008, both George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush supported John McCain when he lost to President Barack Obama. They also backed Mitt Romney in 2012 as Obama won a second term.共和黨總統參選人川普希望促成共和黨團結,但他不會得到最近兩位共和黨總統的支持。

奧巴馬2008年當選總統前擔任兩屆總統的喬治·W·布什的助手說,喬治·W·布什“不打算涉足或對今年的競選發表評論。”

喬治·W·布什的父親喬治·H.W·布什的發言人說,前總統老布什已經“退出政壇”。他競選連任敗給克林頓後1993年卸任。

老布什1996年支持過克林頓的共和黨對手多爾,後來又支持他兒子喬治·W·布什兩次競選,都獲得成功,一次是在2000年擊敗戈爾,另一次是在2004年擊敗克里。

2008年,喬治·H.W·布什和喬治·W·布什都支持麥凱恩參議員競選總統,但是麥凱恩輸給了奧巴馬。2012年,奧巴馬競選第二屆任期時,他們兩人也曾支持過羅姆尼。
