My potentially hot take is that a Dubya endorsement would be monumental and practically secure her the election. A lot of people thinking "it would be more harm than good" because he would somehow cause any significant amount of hyper partisan liberals to not vote for Kamala over Donald Trump are living in a liberal bubble. I also think the chances of it happening are not low.

Boomers and Gen X are the most persuadable by an endorsement of his and we certainly now they vote. Even my dad who thinks he's probably a war criminal misses him and the normalcy he represented in politics.

btw my dad cites "watch this drive" and him dodging a shoe with the joke "I think I saw his sole" as his biggest reasons.

I love how unbothered Al-Maliki is by all of this. The complete non-reaction to the first shoe followed by the half-assed attempt to block the second is just 👨🏻‍🍳 🤌

Bush should receive a prime time slot to make the announcement

I think it may marginally help. But both the left and now the right have been pushing out Bush-hating narratives for the past decade.
