Laura Bush needs to endorse Trump or Harris


Laura Bush needs to endorse Trump or Harris. Every other former President and former First Lady is.

Her opinion is essential to how I vote.

W has no plans to endorse either candidate. He doesn't support Trumpism and election denial, I suppose.

Trump is going into his third election with no support from any former president or vice president.

I respect the Bush's stance of staying out of public life and not feeling the need to butt in with modern politics. They have class unlike the Obamas & Clintons.

Considering his administration was a total disaster by every measure, I certainly understand & support JrBush's policy of keeping his lip zipped.

If they have class, it comes from an earned humility.

There is no tradition of former Presidents, those not disgraced anyway, staying out of politics after office. Truman weighed in, Ike disrespected Nixon, LBJ died soon after leaving office, Nixon was also disgraced, no one paid much attention to Ford or Carter, Reagan was out-to-lunch by then - if anything, the tradition for viable ex-Presidents is to pitch in to support their party. Do you think Trump will keep his yap shut after he loses again ? Dream on.

She needs to do whatever she wants to do, or not do whatever she doesn't want to do. She's not a mindless robot just doing what all the others do. It's none of anybody's business.

Not endorsing Trump is the Harris endorsement
