    As much as I hate her, she’s fighting to stop him, and that is a good thing.

      It’s like if one mugger runs up and hits you in the face and demand your wallet…

      You’d be happy someone ran up and scared off the first mugger, until they pull out a knife and also demand your wallet.

      Your still getting mugged, you just didn’t expect it the second time.

      Hell, you could argue Cheney is worse because she’ll do the same shit just less obvious so less people will care or even notice how bad she is.

        “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” or at least a temporary ally.

        There are times when two enemies can look at a third, common enemy and agree teamwork is the only way to survive. This is one of those times.

          No, that’s how you get stabbed in the back because you took an alliance of temporary convenience over one built on stable foundations. Cheney wants the same dogshit future that Trump wants, she just wants to be quieter about it.

        Well right now she’s still fighting off the first mugger. I’m not going to attack her until the first mugger has been dealt with and then only once she pulls her knife on me.

        If your point is to be wary that she may pull a knife, I agree.

        If your point is to fight off the mugger and her at the same time, I disagree.

          You don’t see the danger of the media presenting her as rational despite supporting all the problematic policies trump does?

            i don’t see any problem with anyone presenting her fighting Trump as rational-- which is all that’s being done.

            nobody is claiming that Liz Cheney has suddenly become some hero of the Left, just that, in this case, she’s doing the rational thing in fighting Trump.
