I believe he will. They will probably time it for some advantage. Maru Kitteh Aug 2016 #4
I hope so, no matter he lied but if he endorsed Mrs. Clinton, that would be good. akbacchus_BC Aug 2016 #5
There's still a non-trivial number of moderate Republicans who would listen to him Maru Kitteh Aug 2016 #8
Agreed. nt SunSeeker Aug 2016 #11
I hope he does! How much longer can the Republicans enable this asshole! akbacchus_BC Aug 2016 #6
He will abstain - says he doesn't recall their conversation. SleeplessinSoCal Aug 2016 #12
Rice won't unless she is offered cash. onehandle Aug 2016 #13
I heard the campaign has been working on Condie Rice for a while. timlot Aug 2016 #14

Now is the time for him to come out and endorse Mrs. Clinton. Trump is not an option for being the President of America!

I'm old enough to remember when they weren't all completely bat-shit crazy.

We can't afford to turn down any votes. We need them all. We need an utter and complete humiliation of Trump and the alt-right white-power sentiment that fuels his campaign. We need a strong and undeniable message of repudiation to their dark, hateful vision of the United States.

Would be interesting to see if Colin Powell would endorse her. Cheney has already jumped out there for Trump.
