Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said he is "absolutely not" voting for Trump. Neither is former Vice President Dick Cheney, former vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan, or, presumably, former Vice President Dan Quayle, who helped prevent Trump from stealing the election in 2020. Trump's own former vice president, Mike Pence, whom Trump nearly got killed on Jan. 6, 2021, said "it should come as no surprise" that he will not endorse Trump.

Former Republican President George W. Bush has not said if he's voting for Trump, but in 2020 he reportedly said he would not support his reelection.

Bush didn't have a positive response to Trump's inaugural address in 2016, where Trump described the country as a dark wasteland of American carnage: "That was some weird ----," Bush reportedly said.

See you guys later, gotta go make some money.

I'm going to market hats and tees with lettering of "KA (in shaded print)MALA" - bolded, with red, white, and blue positioned vertically on each letter in horizontal stripes - with the definition printed below or besides: Make America Law-abiding Again

Put it on a background relief of blindfolded Lady Liberty and her scales and I've got a product Cheney Republicans will eat up like mice in a cheese factory.

MALA vs. MAGA - wonder who wins?

Jesus H. Tony Roma is actually implying that the media treats Harris worse than Trump.

If by worse you mean that the media expects coherent answers and details from Harris while they accept gibberish and word salads from Trump, then you're right.

The media treats her differently than Trump, holding her to a higher standard than they do with him. And she's not going to play that game.

And frankly, after today, she won't have to. Trump just became the only issue that matters and will dominate from here forward, and I'll tell you why:

The Cheney's are telling Republicans 'You can either be with us and Kamala who were totally appalled by January 6th, or you can be with the person who caused January 6th, Donald Trump, and support everything else that comes with him.'

Tell me I'm wrong.

What the Cheney's are saying is simply this:

You can vote with those who were utterly disgusted about what we all witnessed happen on January 6th; or you can vote for the actual person who caused January 6th.

Your choice.

Proving my point - twice.

Complete ignorance.

Hey moron, daycare affects every aspect of your life when and where you depend upon another adult who can only do their jobs for you if they can figure out how to have their younger children taken care of. The cost of daycare is built-in to the price of almost anything, since most people with children make their employment choices based on whether it allows them - by pay or practice - to insure their children are taken care of while they work.

Saying the above doesn't mean that every parent expects something. Saying the above only recognizes the child care is a huge sector of our economy on its own, and impacts even more. Daycare has a direct impact on worker productivity, something every business is concerned with.

The federal government employees almost 3 million citizens. Daycare is an issue impacting more than half of them. Government can make things better for families by shaping policies where they're needed. And they likely will be offset by savings or taxes on extra revenues made if the industry grows.

Don't be so myopic.

Do try to be coherent.

Absolutely. That's Trump level ignorance of a $218B per year industry and its potential ripple effect on GDP.

But then, look who we're talking about....?

it all became very personal for dick

Without a doubt, but I hope everyone understands the chief reason Dick is speaking out in 2024 when he didn't in 2020:

January 6, 2021

And THIS is the issue which will hopefully bring more sane, rational, patriotic Republicans over to Kamala Harris' side.

I watched Liz' extended remarks today. And yes, she has the same general loathing of him that most Democrats do, but she articulates how utterly heinous it was for him to launch and germinate January 6th.

This is the Cheney's alpha and omega as it regards Trump. The cascade of Republican/former Republican endorsements for whatever reasons can all coalesce around January 6th without signing onto a single Democratic policy, but for a shared love of country, Constitution, and protecting our historic place and role on the World stage - and NOT become a tool of Putin's Russia in any way, shape or form.

What is she?

Madame President-in-waiting.

I am trying to understand the Lumpers Americans.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."*

*Especially when it comes to protecting our constitutional republic from a tyrannical insurrectionist felon

Well, this argument is over.

Yep, there's simply no way to spin this. In traditional Republican circles, Dick Cheney is their John Wayne. And now, John Wayne is telling you that Donald Trump is a bad guy, and that he's voting for the Democrat.

Can't call Dick Cheney a RINO. Can't say that he doesn't know what he's talking about when he was the Vice President in charge on 9/11. Can't say that he's not a real American, like they do with every other Republican who finds him equally abhorrent. Can't call him a commie, and you can't criticize his foreign policy inside GOP circles.

It'll be interesting to see what they come up with, or have we finally reached the point that a flood of traditional Republicans will finally acknowledge that which they should have recognized no later than January 6th 2021?

Who said that Trump isn't a uniter?

He's brought Bernie Sanders and AOC along with Liz and Dick Cheney together on the same side - against him.

Might be one of the few net-positive things he's done for America over the last 15 years.

Lord knows, he's driven millions of us apart since the introduction of his reptilian politics.

I wonder if she might be angling for a job in the Harris Administration..

Not a chance. Liz disagrees with almost every single Democratic position outside of national defense.

The Cheney's are simply placing country over party in the most shocking political turn that I've ever seen. This is ringing a 5-alarm fire bell telling Americans of all persuasions that Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to this nation and its continuance as a constitutional republic, full stop.

It's not really that insipid if it is being asked by her opponent. Not necessarily

Read post 35 as many times as it takes to sink in.

I get that you like this sort of insipidness-from the author-but you'd vote for a punchbowl turd if he/she had a (D) in front of their name.

Thank you.

Now, having shown the total for the presidential election, donors can still give more if they haven't maxed out their limits for the primaries too, and direct giving to parties again has even higher limits.

But those numbers aren't included in the amount released stating the campaign's total.

Most of the total could come from large donations.

Also, Trump and Vance both have beeen very acccessible.

$361 million divided by 3 million donors = $120.33 per donor.

"Harris didn't collect $361M majorily from big donors, she got it from voters in increments of $5 - $10 - $100 etc., encompassing tens of thousands."

link?

and?

But perhaps you have a better source.....

See above.

Here's why this entire subject is nothing but media-created BS - a blatant double standard that Trump has never been held to.

Where did all the "get money out of politics" people go?

Nowhere idiot, they're right here cheering this news. Harris didn't collect $361M majorily from big donors, she got it from voters in increments of $5 - $10 - $100 etc., encompassing tens of thousands.

Again, more proof you have no conception of America's electoral nuances that any normal politically-inclined citizen would as a matter akin to breathing.
