While Dick Cheney has endorsed Harris, there have been no comments from other senior Republicans from Bush’s era
The MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell this week hit out at George W Bush, the Republican former president, for refusing to weigh in on America’s looming presidential election.
“All any decent person wants him to do is to say, ‘Don’t vote for Donald Trump, and here’s why,’ and he won’t even do that,” O’Donnell told the Fast Politics podcast, of the Republican president who was in office from 2001 to 2009.
Increasingly, Bush – and some other top Republicans from his political era – are looking lonely in their ongoing refusal to take a side in an election in which many have warned that US democracy is under threat from Trump’s open sympathies with autocracy.

big fucking tough guy when it comes to sending other peoples’ kids out to die for a bullshit war based on outright lies
but when it’s time to actually take the correct stance on something, he buckles like a lawn chair under the average cod cosplaying maga chud
I was living in NYC before and after 9/11.
The Ground Zero pit stayed undeveloped until 2007 because that’s how long it took the money men to decide which insurer would pay for what. George W. never bothered to push them to hurry things, because it was vital that every single penny be accounted for. No problem with starting a war with lies, but money must be guarded to the utmost.
They wanted it to stay an open wound because it let them be more jingo
“Jingoistic” is a phrase I’ve not heard in a long time.
He’s super busy painting dog pictures.
Had to recalibrate my mental image from the fish costume I imagined before remembering that Call of Duty exists 😄
I’m pretty sure his endorsement would be a negative. Same with the Cheney one, I can’t think of anyone that would look at that and be like: yes, I’ll go with Cheney. If anything it would turn people off.
I think you’re right, but I’d like to believe there was at least one person out there that thought, “Shit, I’d better vote for Harris, or he might shoot me in the face!”
