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.

That would be aunt fancy James Buchanan.
Cheney is a more loyal Republican than a lot of other folks including Trump.
========-———_ certainly not be brilliant comment
And this week is not over! Who else will come come out in support for Trump before the end of the day!!
LOL! I love that picture! Cheney looks like Darkwing Duck! :)
Agree.
Good for Cheney
Country ahead of party
Party ahead of the Bush clan
A breath of sanity in a hurricane of idiocy.
Did they ask him if he’ll be attending the convention? I find it very suspicious that so many of the top GOPES say they won’t be there. Why not? Do they know something we don’t?
This is actually a pretty big get for Trump. It’s not really surprising that GWB hasn’t endorsed Trump as he’s so invisible in politics these days. I don’t think he actively campaigned for Romney, for that matter. But Cheney has stayed in politics and this is a big get.
The thing is that right now, there’s a lot of bleeding in the GOP - especially the establishment. Unity will take some time, but I believe it can be done.
Notice How Cheney seems to recognize what a fecking unqualified fool just got inaugurated thanks to the noblesse oblige of the Bush clan
Wouldn’t surprise me. The reason I asked about Liz is because she would be a good addition to administration
It’s a signal to the neo-cons to stop the nonsense about a third party.
I like Cheney however beware of the bushes getting anywhere near the White House
When w got in he brought all his father’s homies with him, including Cheney BTW big time
Syndicated. The Clintons syndicate has nearly broken apart. All that’s left is for her to concede that she’s melting and her foots oldies will gladly give over her relics
Not so the bushes. They don’t self destruct like the Clintons and the kennedys.
Beware.
And just think, mere months ago, Cheney was GOPe.
Yes! We now have ‘Gravitas!” Let’s see more of the former VP Cheney and/or his oldest daughter. That has got to leave a burn in the Bush household. Sorry Jebra, sorry Barbara, this is bigger than blind loyalty to a fading dynasty, much bigger.
Remember, Donald ..... Go Golfing. Not hunting.
I’d say Cheney recognized a Manchurian Candidate.
Foot soldiers
