1. Classy

I disagree with her on everything, but that was classy

[lapfog_1]

4. And you gotta know she is voting for Democrats this fall

as much as it kills her to do it.

Respect.

[blue-wave]

20. "I disagree with her on everything"

So you disagree with her statement?

[XanaDUer2]

23. Please

Welcome to ignore

[blue-wave]

24. Wow!

Just trying to clarify.

[HUAJIAO]

58. Good move.

Good grief!

[XanaDUer2]

71. Hi!

Yeah, I'm upset about Biden, and I'm not playing little word games with Randos, even on DU.

[NH Ethylene]

33. It's pretty obvious what they meant. n/t

[COL Mustard]

53. Policy issues, obviously...

Not about who's best for President.

[SupportSanity]

40. But she and we all agree on the most important point.

All the other points are incredibly small right now.

[llmart]

47. I agree.

Not everyone in the GOP is evil. If we're ever to get back to some semblance of civility in politics in this country we have to give credit where credit is due.

[jaxexpat]

51. Show me a Republican who protest voted against W and i might believe you have something there.

Down ticket, Cheney is 100% Republican.

[Hamlette]

52. Not true. Cheney has said she will support Dems up and down the ballot.

that she doesn't want the GOP to have the house or the Senate let alone the WH

[jaxexpat]

67. You're quite right. I was rash with my words. Liz is a "good egg", all round.

I interpreted her statement about her voting choices to say, I paraphrase, "I will vote for the opponent of any Republican who refuses to accept the 2020 election results". A caveat which would warm W's or Romney's heart, I'm sure.

[flashman13]

49. You can disagree with her politics all you want. But do not question her patriotism.

She will be a very effective campaigner for Harris this fall. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

We, us, the country, will need her and other old line Republicans to form a new conservative party from the debris after this election. The MAGAts will join the Know-Nothings in ignominious oblivion.

Unite! Attack! Attack! Attack!

[calimary]

75. Good to have her onboard.

Especially when it means keeping trump OUT of the Oval Office!

[Lovie777]

2. K & R.............................

[GPV]

3. Someone oughta tell Trump, that's how it done.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

5. No. I hope he keeps showing how mean and nasty he is.

[XanaDUer2]

6. He's trash

[COL Mustard]

54. Please don't insult trash like that.

At one point it probably had some use. Unlike Trump.

[XanaDUer2]

55. True

[SupportSanity]

79. hear hear!

[3catwoman3]

38. He will.

He is incapable of anything else.

[HPM]

65. Don't worry...

Mean and nasty is all he knows.

[roamer65]

7. She's on a Dump enemies hit list.

She had better vote for VP Harris.

[newdayneeded]

8. Hmmmmmmm,

VP Cheney?

[roamer65]

19. No thx.

We have had enuff Cheneys as VPs.

[CentralMass]

26. No.

[Attilatheblond]

31. 2 women? not a good idea

That much change at once is probably not something enough voters could deal with.

[newdayneeded]

36. Well I'm hearing calls for

Woman/gay man ticket too.

[Attilatheblond]

37. Pete amazes me daily. Can't think of a better mind alive today

But not sure he wants the job. His priorities have changed a bit.

[Kalifornia9]

48. They've got their hands full of two toddlers

2028 or later.

[HUAJIAO]

59. YES !!!!

Woman and gay man !!!



Wouldn't THAT be a hoot. !!!

MAGATS would explode and the US of A would be chugging along !!

[newdayneeded]

68. I'm afraid the US will never

be ready for that

[NH Ethylene]

35. No, she is old time Republican and very right-wing.

But I still admire her for her courage these past years.

[Strelnikov_]

9. Harris / Cheney

Extraordinary threats require extraordinary measures.

If Trump is defeated, MAGA is done, and we can return to the ‘tine.

Maybe Cheney is willing to cut a deal. VP for a year, then step down.

[obamanut2012]

10. No, she is a wingnut

A patriot,but a wingnut

[edisdead]

12. I am sorry but this is not true

These assholes will NEVER stop coming for us. Vance is the new wave of trumpism. It will repackage itself and look shiny and nice but the same fascist bullshit will still be there. They will NEVER stop coming for us.

[mokeyz]

14. they will be over

it might take a bit of time but MAGA will be gone.

[we can do it]

22. This shit has been coming for forty years, open your eyes.

[GreenWave]

30. They are the off shoot of Koch bro tea party.

If we can get our oligarchs out of power and off the airways as the cult needs daily brainwashings, then and only then will they be gone.

[Attilatheblond]

32. Re Vance being the new wave of trumpism: Yep the new puppet and he has a lot of years ahead

I wouldn't be surprised if TCF didn't make it thru year one if he won another term. Weird stuff can happen to a guy that old.

[we can do it]

21. Fuck no. Just fuck no.

[CapnSteve]

77. If we are thinking of extemes...

How about a Kamala Harris/Tiffany Trump ticket? That is as plausible as a ticket with Cheney on it. I deeply respect Liz Cheney for her work on the J6 committee, but that work has tainted her with the MAGA GOP and we don’t need them to win anyway.

Harris will beat Trump.

[kentuck]

11. She understands that she is near the top of Trump's enemy list.

She will be on the first boat to Guantanamo.

[ARandomPerson]

13. What kind of bizarre timeline do we live in?

I'm actually feeling positively towards Liz Cheney!

[PikaBlue]

16. You are responding positively to truth.

[ananda]

29. Well, she's not the worst of the worst.

I guess they are so bad, that she looks good.

But... no to here as veep.

We need a good solid Dem there.

[hydrolastic]

61. She may not be the worst

But left alone in a voting booth she would vote our social security away in a heartbeat ! I always remember this when dealing with a republican

[LisaM]

34. Liz Cheney is true to her own values.

They aren't MY values, but she is fearless in upholding them. She refused to kowtow to the MAGA faction.

[ramapo]

15. very classy

I have so much respect for her and I disagree with her about everything. That's kind of refreshing.

[democrank]

17. I appreciate Liz Cheney's statement.

She too knows something about putting country over party.

[bdamomma]

18. Thank you

Ms, Cheney.

[vadermike]

25. Thanks to her

Hell has frozen over— but she’s a fine patriot to this country. She will endorse Harris soon and I bet she will speak at the DNC.

[dalton99a]

27. Kick

[Mr. Scorpio]

28. A truly classy statement

[BurnDoubt]

39. This is how it's done. A refreshing waft of Courtesy (the grease that makes things go). It's NOT weakness.

[Upthevibe]

41. newdeal2..........

Thank you for this post.

I am NOT going to shit on Liz Cheney. She literally put country over party. I VERY much appreciate her statement.

[SunSeeker]

42. K & R & Retweeted

[Kaleva]

43. She is what all Republicans should strive to be

[bucolic_frolic]

44. Quite a backhanded swipe at Trump

[Ligyron]

45. Hey, she did a very, very good job on the Jan 6 Committee.

That's a class statement by her so all things considered, she's on my very short list of least hateable Republicans.

[TheDemsshouldhireme]

46. Here here

putting country above self, something Trump would never do.

[TrumanTheTiger]

50. Can't believe I'm going to write this...

…but she or (gulp!) her dad (shivers!) would be quite a “get” for the DNC for a high-profile speech.

I’m heading to the shower now.

[Maru Kitteh]

56. If you'd have told me I would respect a Cheney as much as I do now

back during W's administration, I'd have secretly imagined punching you in the face while I told you that you were certifiably insane.

Rock on Liz. At least you have some integrity.

[Playingmantis]

57. She put country ahead of party?? How unusual for a Repub..

She deserves credit..

[GoreWon2000]

60. Too bad her father put self interest above duty and helped W steal the 2000 election in Florida

Sorry for the sour grapes but I'm not a fan of hypocrisy. I'll be glad to have her vote for Kamala. This is one of those times when the truth is very ugly.

[iemanja]

62. She's not responsible for her father's actions

any more than you are responsible for your father's.

[GoreWon2000]

63. She put pictures in her book

of she and her family in Austin on election night 2000. She's also never once spoken out against bushthief's theft of the 2000 election using many of the same tactics that tRump used in 2020 and is using now. I'm just not a fan of such blatant hypocrisy.

[LiberalLoner]

64. I've had a positive opinion of her since the day I met her. I think she is a good person, and patriotic.

[Elessar Zappa]

70. Is that you in the middle?

[LiberalLoner]

73. Yes, way back in 1991.

[anamnua]

66. Well said, Liz

A refreshing contrast to Trump's snide remarks. Now take the next logical step and endorse Kamala Harris!

[2naSalit]

69. Text, perhaps?

This seems important.

If you want more people, including those who abhor xitter, to see whatever it is in the message, you might be considerate enough to include some text/context.

[polichick]

72. Can't argue with that statement, but she'd vote against 99%...

…of things Dems believe in.

[BobTheSubgenius]

74. OK. Grudgingly, I admit it.

Liz Cheney might not be as awful as I once thought.

[Freethinker65]

76. Has Cheney endorsed Harris yet?

[republianmushroom]

78. You are correct Liz, thank you.
