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.
Former President George W. Bush, who Cheney served, said this week he would skip this summer’s Republican convention where Trump will be formally nominated. Former President George H.W. Bush and John McCain and Mitt Romney, the GOP’s 2008 and 2012 nominees, also don’t plan to attend the convention.

I hope Cheney’s carpetbagging GOP-E daughter does not win the Republican primary for that seat.
So do I. 3 more weeks until the filing deadline. Rita Meyer is the first tier candidate who hasn’t formally declared yet, along with the sitting House Majority Leader, Rosie Berger. Lizzie won’t be lacking for Beltway Bucks, though that didn’t help last time around.
Soldier on, Dick Cheney! Thanks for your help.
Also, there's been zero news on the alleged "feud" between her and her lezbo sister over gay marriage. You know, the ones her fans on her insisted was geninue and that Liz Cheney had a sincere rift with the rest of the family over her "belief" in traditional marriage (which, amazingly, nobody noticed until she began running for office)
Anyway, back on topic, I agree Dick Cheney quickly "got behind" Trump to further his daughter's political future. Ron Paul did the same and made sure to endorse the GOP nominee instead of the Losertarian Paulbot, in order to ensure son Rand remained a viable figure.
Ironically Cheneyette may actually have a chance this time and it’s not as big a topic, maybe cause it’s the House and she’s not running against an “evil” incumbent.
I heard Ron Paul said he would not vote for Trump (or Cruz). Has he changed his tune?
That idiot Jennifer Rubin suggests Paul (Ron, not Rand) could be the next Sec of State. BARF.
