Leave George W. Bush alone: His decision not to endorse for president is principled | Opinion https://t.co/TEW625eJ42

The former president hasn’t endorsed any candidate since Sen. Mitt Romney in 2012...
...
But it’s one thing to denounce Trump for his personal transgressions, his lack of fitness for office, or whichever of the man’s vices strike you on a given day.It is another entirely to endorse a candidate who stands for policies and values that are diametrically opposed to your own and those that you pursued (and presumably maintain) as your life’s work.
Bush and the former first lady, Laura Bush, reportedly supported neither of the major party candidates in the 2016 or 2020 presidential elections. George W. Bush told People magazine in 2021 that he wrote in the name of his former national security adviser and secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, in 2020.
He could do so again next month with his conscience clear.
In the meantime, everyone should just leave him alone.
