While Dick Cheney has endorsed Harris, there have been no comments from other senior Republicans from Bushās era
The MSNBC host Lawrence OāDonnell this week hit out at George W Bush, the Republican former president, for refusing to weigh in on Americaās looming presidential election.
āAll any decent person wants him to do is to say, āDonāt vote for Donald Trump, and hereās why,ā and he wonāt even do that,ā OāDonnell told the Fast Politics podcast, of the Republican president who was in office from 2001 to 2009.
Increasingly, Bush ā and some other top Republicans from his political era ā 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 Trumpās open sympathies with autocracy.

Both were awful. At least you donāt fall for the rehabilitation so many in our media have been doing of Bush
Both are incredibly incompetent. However, I think if Bush had not become president he would have been seen as somebody who is a bit stupid, and easy to influence, but otherwise a pleasant personality. Trump on the other hand was a criminal long before he saw the Oval Office.
Bush was terrible, for sure. But it was at least believable that he was doing what he thought was best for the country (Cheney, Rove, and Rumsfeld, not so much). But there is no way youāll ever convince me that Trump cares about anyone or anything other than himself.
But look, he paints! Just like Bob Ross, so that means we can just forget about all that other stuff, right?
