Judd Legum:
Is there a single voter in the United States of America who will be swayed by Dick Cheney’s announcement that he is supporting #Harris?
Via Emptywheel:
The funding report Kamala put out the other day said that "almost 1/5 of donors [in Aug] were registered GOP or Indep. Those are people willing to put their name to their support. BUT… 1/2 🧵

….a large # of Kamala-curious GOPers will need permission. Cheney gives it. He will not, single-handedly sway that many votes (though he may be the tipping point for a good many). But over and over Kamala-curious Republicans have heard from Republicans that voting for VP=patriotism.
Cheney is not my definition of patriotism. He is for lots of GOPers

in reply to Laffy • • •It's also important to keep reiterating to Dem voters that this DOES NOT MEAN the Dem platform is moving right. These Rs are not demanding a seat at the table, nor are they actually willing to stand under the tent in terms of ideology.
This is practical politics.
