"In an open letter today, two dozen Republican former officials and lawmakers in Wisconsin endorsed Harris and her running mate Minnesota governor Tim Walz. ...
While Trump and MAGA Republicans insist that Biden is botching the response to Helene, CNN fact checker Daniel Dale noted that the response has gotten bipartisan praise."

"Do liberals love Liz Cheney? Of course not. Nor should we. She’s a super-hawkish neocon. She defended torture. There’s a reason she was ascending the ladder of GOP House leadership in the 2010s. Yes, she had a pedigree, but also, she was totally fine with everything the GOP stood for.
But then Trump happened, and she stood up to say no. "
~ Michael Tomasky
As Tomasky says, the point is, can Cheney move votes?

"From reproductive rights and the economy, to foreign and environmental policy, we need experienced, sane, and fundamentally decent leaders who will fight for us instead of against us—who will safeguard our democracy rather than dismantle it."

"And as a recently engaged-to-be-married, 35-year-old who hopes to feel more joyous than fearful about the potential of becoming a parent myself, I need to advocate for a future worth bringing children into, which is why I am voicing my adamant support for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz."

“I want to be clear that I do believe that everyone needs to be accountable for their own actions, but right now, the biggest threat to our country is Trump.”

"Perhaps not since the Civil War has this great country felt as politically, emotionally and spiritually divided as it does at this moment. It doesn't have to be this way. The common values, the shared stories that make this a great and united nation, are waiting to be rediscovered and retold once again."
~ Bruce Springsteen

"Cheney took her decision [to support Harris] to the next level by joining the vice president at a campaign event near the Little White School House in Ripon, Wisconsin, known as the birthplace of the Republican Party in 1854. That joint event is a vivid example of Harris’ belief that she can expand support among Independents and Trump-reluctant Republicans."

"There stood two women with vanishingly little in common. There they were, in the place where an honest, abolitionist Republican party formed, in political unity, bound by a mutual love of country and a commitment to its best ideals.
Two women standing in the breach to protect the country from the men trying to tear it apart.
Two women alone, standing together for all of us."

"Cheney's historic joint appearance with Harris was big news almost everywhere except Fox News, which only showed a short portion of the event."

"Republican governors Henry McMaster of South Carolina and Glenn Youngkin of Virginia both thanked Biden by name for what McMaster called a 'superb' response.
So today’s bipartisan event in Ripon suggests far more than Democratic outreach to Republicans. It appears to be a commitment to a government that advances the interests of ordinary people, and protects the right of everyone to be treated equally before the law and to have a say in their government."
William Lindsey :toad:
"In a historic moment, the former Chair of the Republican House Conference spoke at the spiritual birthplace of the Republican Party to endorse the Democratic candidate for president. Liz Cheney’s endorsement of Kamala Harris was grounded in courage, honor, fealty to the Constitution, and commitment to the truth."
