Cheneys endorse Kamala. What about other Republicans?

Liz Cheney — yep.

Dick Cheney — he’s in.

Jimmy McCain — joined the Democratic Party and is vowed to vote for Kamala … his dad would be proud.

Mitt Romney, Mike Pence, and Paul Ryan have suggested they may vote for Harris, not vote at all, or write in another person's name.

George W. Bush — he’s just gonna sit this one out … not taking sides. For real?

Apparently the “cowardly” Republicans haven’t read Liz Cheney’s recent comments in USA Today. “I don’t believe that we have the luxury of writing in candidates’ names, particularly in swing states … I will be voting for Kamala Harris.”

What the Cheneys understand that others don’t (but should) is that their Republican Party has been hijacked by an extremist. Their party of conservatism is gone! There is no reason to write in someone’s name because that GOP doesn’t exist. With Trump as president, their party is destroyed.

Adam Kinzinger described Trump as weak, small, and faithless at the DNC. The question is, why didn’t Kinzinger have a whole stage of Republicans standing behind him, rooting him on? Are they more afraid to lose their seat than lose their country? That “party over politics” saying could never be truer.

I am voting for Kamala for a multitude of reasons in the future of our country. I would never vote for Trump. I don’t want the responsibility of being a patriot that ruined our democracy. You shouldn’t either.
