    Caving in to pressure and saying she will vote for Trump while calling Biden “catastrophic” is a clear demonstration that her whole campaign message about mature politics and moving on from Trump was just noise. She cares more about maintaining some semblance of influence than she does about character or integrity. She’s just proving that everyone who said she was full of shit was absolutely correct.

      She could single-handedly save the country by running independent and fucking trump. But no.

        There are a number of high-profile allegedly moderate Republicans who could but won’t, because for all their finger wagging about Trump, he’s still their guy. Looking at you, Romney and Collins.

      When the Repub with the most integrity is Liz Cheney you can tell the entire party is diseased. It is a cancer on the nation.

      I really thought that she might follow through on her anti trump thing. She pretty much went full send during her campaign. Didn’t think she was going to let back in by trump. I never expected her to support the Dems, but thought there was a real chance of her not supporting Trump… Well so much for that

    A Zoom meeting may not be the most earth-shattering development in the campaign so far, but [Robert Schwartz, founder of the Haley Voters For Biden PAC] said it’s a crucial step for the Biden campaign to gain an edge with this key voting bloc.

    Although they may not like a lot of Biden’s policies, he is known for working with whomever he needs in order to reach a compromise most can live with.

      And on the flip side, Trump is erratic, emotional, and extremely narcissistic. He demands absolute loyalty, but will turn on people in an instant. He is pretty much the last person on earth you would want to rely on, and there’s basically no depths he won’t sink to in order to get what he wants out of you. Just look at the way he treated other Republicans on January 6. Look at all the people he’s cheated, attacked, or simply discarded when they were no longer useful.

      If I were a Republican, even one on the far right, I would still rather try to work with Biden to reach some sort of compromise on the things where that would be possible than take my chances working with Trump.

          Five or six years ago I would have said this is hyperbole. I was registered republican then. At this point though, if you’re still a republican you are a traitor to this country. I just hope there’s enough dumbass es like me who saw what happened in 2020 and woke up.

        That’s because the vast majority of this government wants to suck Israel’s cock.

        The writing is on the wall, whether we like it or not, at the moment, the US is an Israeli ally.

        And that needs to change, but I don’t forsee it happening soon, though.
