In a preview of CNN’s interview of Dick Cheney set to air tonight, the former Vice President refused to comment on or endorse the candidacy of Donald Trump.
“I don’t know the man. I’ve never met him,” Cheney said when asked about Trump.
“Again, he’s a candidate, and I don’t want to be in the business of rating candidates at this point,” he continued. “I’ve been surprised that he’s done as well as he has. I think most of us have on the Republican side.”
“You’re not endorsing Donald Trump today?” asked CNN’s Jamie Gangel.
“That’s a given. I’m not endorsing Donald Trump today,” he said.

No surprise here.
Cheney is offering signed copies of his latest book in exchange for a $60 contribution to the RNC.
Because the moron sTrumpettes need something to whine about today.
BUMP
“That’s a given. I’m not endorsing Donald Trump today,”
It’s a given too that he will NOT endorse Donald Trump on ANY day.
Cheney’s disdain will cop the Donald a couple million more democrat voters
Hee hee.
It's not a news story. It's a hit piece. God, our media sucks.
Online polls are useless - even if my candidate had the lead.
They failed to mention he said he would support whomever was on the Republican ticket!
Exactly. The media & GOPe does this because they think it will get conservatives to turn against Trump. All it probably is doing it getting some Independents and “moderate” Dems to say “hmmm, maybe Trump isn’t so bad”.
What’s DU? tia
Cheney is an eGOP member. He’s been in DC since the 1970s.
I think it means Dick Cheney really likes Trump.
The media would kill Trump if Cheney admitted liking him.
Come on Dick. Do it. This is no time for polite hedging.
I agree with you about on-line polls - except that IMO Newsmax is left leaning and I was surprised to see Cruz on top and Jeb so far down.
Democratunderground, a libtwit socialist site.
You’re spewing the same garbage they do.
No offense hut i do not give two sh1ts about what anyone else thinks about any candidate, that isnt how i make up my mind.
Cheney has zero influence on me.
They are creating news via an interviwee who’s quotes are what they want the news to be.
I’ve never heard of that site, and have no plans to visit. I subscribe to caravantomidnight, three hour interviews daily with whistelblowers, authors, specialists, economists etc. Some crazy stuff but usually excellent. PNAC is real, I’ve read the documents.
Why would he?
He and daughter are just promoting their book
Reasonable
I respect Cheney whether I always agree with him or not
He’s a man question of that
A will of a man
If his health were better he’d a been a two term POTUS and Islamists would shit in their pantaloons
Yeah, PNAC is the DU bible
