“Dick Cheney will be voting for Kamala Harris,” she said of her father, who served as vice president under President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2009. “If you think about the moment we’re in, and you think about how serious this moment is, my dad believes — and he said publicly — there has never been an individual in our country who is as grave a threat to our democracy as Donald Trump is.”

“One of the most important things we need to do as a country as we begin to rebuild our politics is we need to elect serious people,” Liz Cheney said. “Here in Texas, you guys do have a tremendous, serious candidate running for U.S. Senate.”

The audience erupted in applause cutting Liz Cheney off.

“It’s not Ted Cruz," she said.

She blamed Cruz for leading the effort in the Senate for trying to overturn the election.

"That is not somebody to put in a position to be able to do that again," Cheney said.

“Dick Cheney will be voting for Kamala Harris,” she said of her father

She should have added, "but don't let that put you off."

Where you rotate so far right you end up at the left.

'left', yeah, right.

The democrats are at most center left, but that's higly debatable.

The democrats are 4-5 different political groups wearing a trench coat

That is a horrific endorsement and Dick Cheney is a monster.

... but even a monster like Dick Cheney -- a man who largely created a needless war and supposedly LIKES being compared to Darth Vader -- even that monster thinks, "Trump would be horrible for the U.S."
