Please name any Republican who went on the campaign trail and did speeches. I want to see your virtual every single one list with them out there on the trail.

Did Bush Sr.? Dd Bush Jr.?

Did Reagan?

Yes, if they are asked to. But they are often not asked because they were unpopular when they left office:


Richard Nixon - was a pariah. Not asked.

Gerald Ford - Half-termer who lost in 1976, after pardoning Nixon. Non factor later.

Jimmy Carter - one-termer plagued with horrible economy. Likely not asked by Clinton.

Ronald Reagan - Popular, but incapacitated by Alzheimer’s at the end of his term.

G.H.W. Bush - Unpopular one-termer, but still campaigned for his sons in 2000, 2004 and 2016.

Bill Clinton - campaigned for his wife and Obama in 2008 and again for Obama in 2012 and for his wife in 2016.

George W. Bush - terrible popularity, but briefly came out of his hole for his brother’s campaign in 2016.

Barack Obama - sees the threat that Trump represents, and is supporting Hillary Clinton, who supported him after her tough loss to him in 2008.
