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.

And the proof several others posted about former presidents endorsing candidates, including George W. Bush doesn’t mean anything because you are the authority here?
Maybe presidents shouldn’t endorse, but not everything is as it should, because you said so. And just because it shouldn’t you can’t just say it isn’t, as if it were a fact.
Reagan changed many paradigms for the worse. I’d bet the majority here couldn’t name his predecessor without looking it up, let alone the legislative majorities and legislation.
I’m going to go do something more productive.
