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.

    They disrespect the office.

    An endorsement disrespects the office, but Trump shitting all over the office, and every citizen isn’t. Yeah you can fuck right off with your disingenuous bullshit.

      I expect and deserve better. It’s not a popular perspective here, where all have settled for “not Trump”. I’ll leave you to your less than mediocre whatever.
