The reality is, Jennifer, that you and I are honest enough to give credit to individuals whose moral values haven't "entirely" dissipated into the sewers of Mar a Pantano.

Sorry folks, I just cannot give Liz Cheney ANY credit for courage. She knows the Trump ship is going down sooner or later and she’s grabbed a lifeboat. Nothing more. She is still Dick Cheney’s daughter, through and through.

You may be absolutely correct, and she may be Dick Cheney's daughter, but she is a human being and I'd like to look upon her as such in this instance, until the facts prove otherwise.

Yes she is a fellow human being who I wish no ill will towards. And I abhor her politics. This is why:

Anything like a re-play of the the Reagan Presidency would send our democracy - what remains of it - down the drain forever, so it is good to know that there is one important Republican leader apparently willing to sacrifice her political career to save us from the likes of Trump. This means that earlier mass media references to "honest Republicans" based on back room contacts between a few journalists and politicians or other unnamed sources is not mere wishful thinking. However, there are moral values and moral values. I'm not sure ready to write Liz Cheney a clean bill of health, and even her credit-worthiness continues to be suspect. By the way, I love Wyoming.

" . . . apparently willing to sacrifice her political career" sent my brain to the conclusion that she's setting up a run for the presidency with all that corporate money and raking in the right-leaning Independents who left the party of Trump. Now, that's a disturbing thought!

She is only an ally is the fracturing of the Republican party.

Oh, no. She is calculating that this is the beginning of a wonderful peak in her career. She is sacrificing nothing. She is positioned to be the voice and face of a New Republican Party. Presidential run coming right up.
