Didn't he have cancer after the Gulf War?

That takes him out of the running for a few years.

Treatable Prostate cancer wasn’t it?

That wouldn’t necessarily stop him.

Though he did endorse Bush rather publicly...and he did get into a bit of trouble for lending his name and visage to a GOTV campaign in Florida in 2000... (Of course, he didn't break any laws as he was retired.)

Endorsing someone is not going into politics. And since he was retired he did NOT get into any trouble at all. Everyone has a RIGHT to publicly endorse whomever they want, if you didn't know.
