Just an all-over skin crawl coupled with an all-over shudder and sickening gut twist. Dick Cheney has endorsed Trump. That\u2019s all. In doing so, the Iraq-war architect has broken rank with other prominent Republicans like the entire Bush clan, John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Mitt Romney. Not to mention House Speaker Paul Ryan who has so far just said no to Trump. We can only assume that Cheney just really wants to go to the GOP convention in Cleveland this summer. Perhaps the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/msnbc\/dick-cheney-embraces-the-darth-vader-meme\" target=\"_blank\">Darth Vader admirer<\/a>\u2019s dancecard [<em>sic<\/em>]is coming up empty these days.<\/p>\n<p>Cheney said he would back Trump, despite earlier saying that Trump sounded too much \u201clike a liberal Democrat,\u201d when he criticized the decision to invade Iraq and said the Bush administration lied about the existence of weapons of mass destruction. Trump did not sound like a liberal Democrat when he stated this fact. He sounded like a man in the throes of a rare moment of lucidity.<\/p>\n<p>But now, Cheney doesn\u2019t care about that. Or he does not remember it, and as long as his artificial heart keeps ticking, he\u2019s jumping on board the Trump carnival caravan.
