I'm sad to announce I just looked up Dick Cheney and he's still alive

I didn't go through the entire list but this is mostly staffers. I saw a lot of former ranking members but no current, up for election members.

I'm willing to be corrected but so far, no one who has their ass on the line has actually stood up.

I'm glad there are Republicans willing to stand up against Trump, but it would mean a lot more if someone who has the monetary and political backing of the GOP actually stood up and said they are endorsing Harris.

Obvious that she supported Harris but not obvious that she would have the courage to say it and risk gaining the attention of the Trump mob

Say what you will about her, but she isn’t the coward that 99.999999% of repubs are. Plenty about her that I find repugnant, but I respect her courage.

I describe her the same way that Romney described Obama in 2012. I don't agree with your policy positions at all, but I highly respect you as an individual.

Might wanna read up on the homophobia and the selling out her sister thing
