[QUOTE]Washington (CNN)Former Vice President Dick Cheney will support Donald Trump, he told CNN Friday, an important move as the presumptive Republican nominee is encountering intense resistance from senior members of his own party.
Cheney told CNN Special Correspondent Jamie Gangel that he has always supported the GOP nominee and will do so this year as well.
The announcement makes Cheney one of the few Republican Party elders to announce their support of Trump and comes a day after House Speaker Paul Ryan told CNN he is "just not ready" to back Trump.[/QUOTE]

This is an important endorsement from someone who, as the Prince of Darkness, has millennia of political experience under his belt.
Cheney should invite Trump to go quail hunting with him sometime.
There's probably a blackened spot on the ground where they met.

Dick Cheney is a dick.
From one formerly heartless man to another heartless man

Oh wow, this election cycle has been so crazy I forgot what normal republican bullshit sounds like.
Genuinely surprised he didnt pick Clinton

Why would an establishment Republican support an establishment Democrat.
[QUOTE=Raidyr;50272073]Why would an establishment Republican support an establishment Democrat.[/QUOTE]
Because this establishment democrat is warhawkish enough to warrant such an endorsement in this political atmosphere

First off no she isn't, secondly they disagree on literally everything else.

How can you say Hillary is not a war hawk?

Cheney is a Republican die hard, no way is he going to give anything to a democrat.
An endorsement from a previous republican president is surprising.

When it comes to foreign policy, Clinton is basically Bush, and Bush is Cheney.

I didn't say she wasn't a war hawk.

No.
I guess we are also going to ignore the "they disagree on literally everything else part"
The fact that people seriously believe Cheney would back Clinton really shows how effective anti-Clinton propaganda has become. That, combined with the fact that I guess not very many people remember the Bush presidency.

I wasn't disagreeing dude. You should probably cut back on what you've imagined people are saying and stick with what they actually said.
I read what you said. "When it comes to foreign policy, Clinton is basically Bush, and Bush is Cheney". And I disagree. That's why I typed no. We disagree because you made a disagreeable statement.
You implied I missed the "they disagree on literally everything else part".

because cody is deluded to the point that he thinks trump is next to sanders on the political spectrum and hillary is an authoritarian right-wing dictatorial 1984 supreme god-lord wannabe, naturally. most politically ignorant poster 2016

Trump and sanders are no where near each other, but im not surprised youre making more incorrect assumptions about the way other people think. Trump is really close to Clinton on the political spectrum

We need him now more than ever. :(
Let's not ignore the fact that a Trump/Cheney ticket, in the one universe where it successfully wins, would likely be a terrifyingly competent team (at doing horrible things, but so well).
maybe trump can help cheney find those pesky WMDs
I don't know why everyone is rolling their eyes at this. An endorsement from a respected former Republican Vice-President has to be valuable to Trump.

Yeah, I don't know about that.
I was being sarcastic.
