Former Vice President Dick Cheney will be crossing party lines for this election and voting for Vice President Kamala Harris, according to his daughter.
I dunno, in almost all circumstances I agree that he should just keep his mouth shut and thankful no one is pursuing him for warcrimes … But in this instance, he’s not going to sway anyone to vote Trump by endorsing Kamala and he might influence some Republicans to cross lines or abstain. Really hard to see this specific act as anything other than a potential good (not altruistic, but still, in balance for the world, neutral to good).
He needs to crawl back into his hole. Who the hell was waiting for Dick Cheney’s endorsement to make a decision?
George W. Bush?

I can’t see this as anything other than bad.
Now the Trump camp can say “See? We are the peace candidate. The architect of the Iraq war supports the other guys”
