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.

I’d venture to guess that the dude has just checked out from politics and world events entirely.
That’s my guess.
Looking at how people are commenting here, they would find six ways he committed a war crime, and whine how much he destroyed their day, and what a terrible, clueless person he is, if he just said, “Good afternoon.”
I’m kind of curious why the article was even written. The guy is clearly out of the public eye and hardly anyone wants to know what he thinks anyways.
Why would he invite anymore scrutiny?
Some guy on here is still commenting on his painting, lol!? That was a stupid complaint when it first came out. Now it just makes the commenter look weird.
