    She doesn’t have principles, she just doesn’t like Trump. She’s a conservative, so her only priority is herself. Trump is bad for Liz Cheney. Supporting Harris is good for Liz Cheney.

        Me too, and her endorsement. Maybe some more conservatives follow her lead and recognize that Harris winning is in their own best interest. That’s good for everyone.

      Lots of the GOP vote for Donald but don’t like him.

      Preservation of democracy (which is self-serving for a politician) is a principle.

        The Conservative oligarchs support Trump because he’s captured the definition of Conservative identity and laid bare the grift. He is the most pure narcissist to have ever ascended to the top of their party, and to deny him now is to risk drawing his ire. Those who oppose Trump are cast out, and become the Other. They are no longer protected by the machine, and must either retreat from politics and the public eye, or languish in the cold long enough to start making amends through groveling and humiliation.

      No idea why you’re being downvoted here, you’re absolutely correct.
