Will W. endorse Biden? CNN's Dr. Reiner "I'll go out on a limb and say ....yes".

[underpants]

A few minutes ago. Dr. Reiner was Cheney’s doctor when he was VP.

Not sure of the sit-in hosts name.
She read a quote from a former adviser to Bloomberg and the Clintons about George W. Bush, as elder statesmen of the Republican Party, endorsing Biden. Republicans should vote Democrat if only this one time.

Do you think former President Bush would* do this?
Dr. Reiner (pauses) “I’ll go out on a limb and say (pauses again) yes”.

1. I'll say no. He's had his chance.

4. The election is not over.

5. He'll see

The fact that’s there chatter amongst that level of the political class could be something. It could be a testing of the waters.

8. I agree

[jorgevlorgan]

11. Since Trump voters are waiting till election day mostly,

A Bush endorsement of Biden right before election day, can possibly shift those election day numbers in Biden's direction, dampening Trump voter turnout. Tax returns might have some of this effect as well.

[dem4decades]

21. Trump voters hate Bush.

[TwilightZone]

2. I doubt he'll do so officially.

I'm relatively certain he'll vote for Biden, assuming he votes. He's certainly not to vote for Trump.

[JI7]

3. lol, W as elder statesmen ? I guess when you have something as bad as Trump

it's easier to see that.

But I do hope he endorses Biden. Not sure how much it would help but it can't hurt.

It might help with some conservative leaning hispanics in Florida and Texas.

7. They stated that since his fathers death....

He is the only living Republican former President.

6. I surprised cheney hasn't endorsed trump

10. Cheney, okay this is getting weird, had a "real men wear masks" photo

[JI7]

13. Cheney is a neocon and probably doesn't like Trump's foreign policy

I don't think Cheney really cares much for domestic policy issues .

9. Would it make any difference? The Trumpists don't like him,

and we don't like him either.

14. Eh

There are still a lot of Rockefeller and Reagan Republicans out there.

A few here and there in the right states just saying.

I actually work with a guy who’s self identified as a Rockefeller Republican. Looks remarkably like Mr. Burns. Great guy. I really miss our lunch round table.

[JI7]

15. Conservative leaning hispanics like him

[Bleacher Creature]

12. No, he's too loyal a Republican, even though he knows that Trump's a danger to the party.

He may hint that he'll vote for Biden, although I also won't be shocked if he does the write-in thing again.

Laura is a completely different story. I could see her endorse Biden.

[underpants]

18. Yes. I was surprised that dr. Reiner said it

But him saying it tells me something.

This could be a band aid moment. They created their own teabagger problem. That’s not going away but purging themselves of the Clustertrump is a long term thing. We may see the demise of a two party system - we need at least 5.

16. don't know if he will

...but I bet he wants to. Was surprised to see him speak at John Lewis's funeral service. And Laura Bush and Michelle, I saw this but I can't remember what the event was... I think it was that great graduation special, or maybe there was another one too:

I used to hate the Bushes, for multiple reasons we all know about, but this sociopath makes them look pretty good these days.

[helpisontheway]

17. No. He was on the phone making calls to Get Kavanaugh confirmed..

He cares about judges.

[Buckeyeblue]

19. W probably can't because of vulnerable Texas Republicans

But he certainly won't endorse him. In some ways no endorsement says it all.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

20. I think that's coming

I don't think it means much, but I think that's coming.

[GulfCoast66]

22. Nope. He remembers Reagan's rule.

He will just keep his pie hole shut but he will probably vote for Biden.
