Actually, Jerry would never endorse any candidate, which is why this is annoying (one reason, anyway). Quotes from Captain Trips himself:

But when it came to leading the multitudes, Garcia was unambiguous: "Our trip was never to go out and change the world. I mean, what would we change it to? Whatever we did would probably be worse than the way it is now."

The Dead insisted they had no message. But Garcia once summed up a most admirable anti-message about what the Dead experience meant: "A combination of music and the psychedelic experience taught me to fear power. I mean fear it and hate it."

Part of a good article in Reason magazine.
