Cheney’s policy positions and voting record put her away out to the right, but at least she seems to have principles and a back bone, unlike the vast majority of Republican politicians.
Cheney is a fascinating example of how you can support every conservative policy and still be considered a RINO for suggesting that Trump shouldn’t be in charge. She’s proof that you can’t be a Republican today without kissing the ring.
You’re exactly right. She’s not a moderate, she’s hard right. Staunch Republican in every way except support for a criminal. But because of that, she’s not really a Republican to them. Crazy.
She doesn’t have principles, she just doesn’t like Trump. She’s a conservative, so her only priority is herself. Trump is bad for Liz Cheney. Supporting Harris is good for Liz Cheney.
I’ll still take her vote
Me too, and her endorsement. Maybe some more conservatives follow her lead and recognize that Harris winning is in their own best interest. That’s good for everyone.
Principles you don’t like are still principles.
Cheney supported Trump in 93% of her votes, including voting against his first impeachment. She doesn’t have principles, she has ambitions.
Lots of the GOP vote for Donald but don’t like him.
Preservation of democracy (which is self-serving for a politician) is a principle.
The Conservative oligarchs support Trump because he’s captured the definition of Conservative identity and laid bare the grift. He is the most pure narcissist to have ever ascended to the top of their party, and to deny him now is to risk drawing his ire. Those who oppose Trump are cast out, and become the Other. They are no longer protected by the machine, and must either retreat from politics and the public eye, or languish in the cold long enough to start making amends through groveling and humiliation.
No idea why you’re being downvoted here, you’re absolutely correct.
"Because of the danger that Donald Trump poses, not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I will be voting for Kamala Harris,” Cheney said in a video of remarks posted to X. The university separately provided a clip of Cheney’s remarks to NBC News.
The former congresswoman said in her remarks that it is “crucially important” for people to understand that people do not have “the luxury of writing in candidates’ names, particularly in swing states.”
Dick Cheney endorsed Kamala Harris too.
Does this mean if I don’t vote for Harris I’ll get shot in the face and have to apologize to Ol’ Dick Cheney?
Well, the Democrat party is a conservative party.
