"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."

Former Republican representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming joined Vice President Kamala Harris on a stage hung with red, white, and blue bunting and signs that said “Country Over Party.” As Cheney took the stage, the crowd chanted, “Thank you, Liz!” The two were on the campaign trail today in Ripon, Wisconsin, the town that claims to be the birthplace of the Republican Party.

Letters from an American

William Lindsey

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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?

Good for Liz Cheney. Now where are Mitt Romney and George W. Bush?

Fighting Words. What got me...

@wdlindsy correction: she was NOT in the inner tRump circle of *grift*, so she couldn't get her beak wet.

"Conservatives" have no ideology, no morals, no ethics, no principles, no scruples, no beliefs, they just want expediency of power to grift.

Period.

@faraiwe Despite her very evident shortcomings — and those of her father — I'll give her credit for showing rare courage. She's paid a real price for standing up and doing what's right.

faraiwe Oct 4, 2024

@wdlindsy consideration.

Did she really, or she merely went through the process of NOT being in that inner circle?

It'd be great if we did NOT lionize those individuals.

The 2020s #DNC is already the 1980s #GOP, anyways.

Remember not to depend, or put confidence or trust on them. Use them, let them fire at each other, but never TRUST them.

Lesson hard earned.

@EWinterNM Hadn't thought of that myself — a good point! Let's hope.
