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.

Huge. Especially in the Rocky Mountain West where Trump sucked in the primaries. Has to be related to Trump’s energy policy. And I don’t get too excited because at the end of the day, could just be the Bush family trying to figure out how to play both sides of the coin before the toss.

I have a feeling there was trouble in paradise between W and Cheney during much of 43s term.
It's my understanding that Cheney was pushing big time to bomb the shiite out of Iran and do away with their nuclear program once and for all, but the only thing GWB wanted to do was talk the big talk, and failed to walk the walk.

And just think, mere months ago, Cheney was GOPe. He still is GOPe... but those with a speck of intellect respect 'we the people'.

Good, as long as Cheney doesn’t invite Trump hunting.

Not my point. Recently, he was a GOPe globalist neocon pig. I defended him. Now, he’s a hero? Sorry, but I’m suffering a mild case of whiplash.

Welcome on the Trump train patriot.

Not my point. Recently, he was a GOPe globalist neocon pig. I defended him. Now, he’s a hero? Sorry, but I’m suffering a mild case of whiplash. Bully for you. I do not consider him a 'hero'. I consider him smart enough to see 'his' tide turning and very aware that this nation under a Hillry or Bernie rule would be the end of USA. Anybody that considers the Bush /Cheney years a success is stuck on stupid.

I agree. But he’s “customized” the “dents.”

I love that pic! Had it as my screensaver for years.

I would be more concerned as to why Cheney is on CNN.
