Liz and Dick

I don't mean Taylor and Burton.

Former U.S. Representative Liz Cheney and her farther, former Vice President Dick Cheney, recently announced that they will be both be voting for Kamala Harris for President.  And to top that, Liz Cheney also said she is supporting Democratic U.S. Representative Colin Allred's campaign for the Senate against incumbent Ted Cruz in Texas. 

Having both represented all of Wyoming in the U.S. House, the Cheneys are among the most conservative politicians in recent history - some would call them reactionary - but one thing they agree with the Democrats on is that Donald Trump is a danger to a free, democratic representative government and that he must be stopped.  They're essentially giving Republicans a permission slip to vote for Harris.

I don't think that's going to be very successful.  Most Republicans have already left the party because of Trump. and those few remaining registered Republicans who oppose him are outnumbered by the new MAGA voters Trump brought in in 2016 and continues to bring in to this day.  As for Republican officeholders, they're too scared to speak out against Trump.  Half of them are afraid of losing their offices to the MAGA voters and the other half are afraid of losing their lives - to those same MAGA voters, who are likely uncowed by anti-lynching laws.  (They wanted to hang Mike Pence on January 6, 2021, remember.)   

In order to convince the few anti-Trump Republicans that remain to support Harris, the Cheneys have their work cut out for them.
