When Dick Cheney, Vice President to George W. Bush endorsed Kamala Harris, saying he voted for her, the hope was that it would influence the number of old-school Republicans who hate and fear Trump but have never voted for a Democrat.

Dick Cheney remains deeply unpopular among Democrats. They don’t consider him redeemed, but welcome any help from anywhere.

Liz Cheney, Dick’s equally conservative daughter, has been appearing with Harris on the campaign trail. Barbara Bush, W’s daughter, has endorsed Harris. A number of former aides to W, including Nicole Wallace on MSNBC, have implored W to endorse Harris.

For his part, W says he does not endorse candidates, despite the position taken by Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney (who worked in the W administration), and many of his former aides.

W’s ranking on the list of quality presidents is not great, somewhere in the mid-30s of the 46, between Zachary Taylor and Benjamin Harrison.

But if W was to endorse Harris—even if she didn’t win—the conscientious courage would rocket him way up the list. Maybe not Top Ten, but up there.

There are a few days until Election Day. So, George W. Bush, if you are reading this, as a crown on your career, help save America and endorse Kamala Harris.
