Just have Dick Cheney tell him to endorse Kamala. It’ll be just like old times.

Honestly the Harris campaign may have calculated that we’re better off *without* this endorsement.

>Appellate attorney Chris Truax, who served as Southern California chair for John McCain’s 2008 primary campaign in 2008, called out Bush for staying out of the presidential race this year. He wrote in an opinion piece for The Hill that there was “a lot of speculation” that Bush would endorse Harris after Cheney did so earlier this month.

You’re talking about the guy that helped the family of the bastards that funded and planned 9/11 get on a plane out of the US after the attack because his oil company buddies told him to do so.

A war criminal rebranded as a mild mannered painter who gleefully passes candy to Michelle Obama. Talk about getting the opportunity of a lifetime to rehabilitate your character and totally blowing it.

That’s to return the democrat’s grace concerning his war crimes abroad, at home and his founding of MAGA cult.

But he’s the guy who ate democracy to get into power himself, so no surprises there

He slept through the warning “Bin Laden determined to strike in US” in the fall of 2001. W Bush is not exactly going to break character on this one.
I think (and hope) that he’s saving his endorsement as the “October surprise” of sorts, and I think he would be right to do so

Dubya went into politics, knowing full well the risk of harm to his family and friends it imposes. To cower at this point is the most useless thing he could do.

Anybody whose watched King of the Hill knows Bush has a limp handshake. You should expect this out of him.

This guy literally stole the election and put us on this path towards Trump.
Techno_Core on
We’re calling out the guy who lost the popular vote then won the presidency because the SCOTUS gave it to him, for turning his back on democracy? I’m sure he was this close to being named Trump’s vp!

A long time ago, it was the rule that one never spoke out against another in one’s party.
This was really ingrained in this Bush by the former senior Bush president. One commentator said that Bush may not endorse anyone, because he can’t endorse trump, and he can’t go against his party and endorse Harris.
It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.

GW Bush is a broken man that by all appearances and actions seems to want to forget he was ever President and for everyone else to forget, too. He knows how bad he screwed the response to 9/11 and what it cost this country and is suffering probably the biggest case of moral injury outside of fiction.
Let him be, you can’t torture him worse than he is himself.

You’re talking about the President who gleefully lead us into the longest war in US history while dramatically expanding the US surveillance state. He can absolutely let the democracy go to voicemail.

George W: Yes I can and I will.
I feel like a lot of people have forgotten what a dumpster pile Bush is. Just because he’s more sane than Trump, doesn’t suddenly absolve him from the war crimes he committed, or from being a massive POS. Being born when I was, Bush is THE reason despise the Republican party and vowed to never vote for them again.
Jackaddler on
Apparently Bush’s reasoning for not getting involved is that he didn’t like former political figures commenting on his Presidency when he was in office.
Seems to me like W never had any real interest in politics, he just believed it was his birthright and now that he’s fulfilled that right (at any incredible cost to the US and the rest of the world) he thinks he can go back to being an average Joe, focussing on his paintings and with nothing to say about anything. It would have been nice if W just stayed a rich man living in obscurity rather than becoming a Governor and then President, because like it or not once you become an political influence like an ex-President, what you say or don’t say matters – there’s no avoiding it.

I’ll never forget the damage you did to this country “W”, no matter how good you’re PR team has made you look since your party nominated a man that can’t spell at a third grade level.

Bush is one of the dumbest presidents ever. He’s near Trump in that department. I don’t want to hear from a war monger.

Yeah, I’m not putting faith in Bush doing the right thing.
Wasn’t his non-endorsement good enough? MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Dubya. Giving “democracy” to the Middle East, punting on it here at home. Always a coward.

Bush is a dominionist. He supports the Heritage Foundation & the Federalist Society. He cheated (Jeb & the hanging chads) to win his presidency. He worked the phones silently behind the scenes to get Kavanaugh’s SCOTUS nomination confirmed. Bush is on board with Project 2025. Asking him to support democracy rather than a theocracy is useless.

W? You mean the guy who legitimately and brazenly stole an election? People want HIM to champion democracy?
What a dumb thing to try to throw at him.

>“That would have a real impact on the race. As a former Republican president, his endorsement would weigh heavily with old-school Reagan Republicans. And despite Trump’s takeover of the party apparatus, there are still a lot of these Republicans around. Nikki Haley got hundreds of thousands of votes in swing states like Pennsylvania, Arizona and Georgia even after she dropped out of the race…..
I’m so sick of news outlets acting like Nikki Haley is some sort of moderate. She had the same platform as Trump but managed to not shout racist and sexist things at rallies. That doesn’t make her moderate, that makes her self aware.
