Imagine telling someone in 2016 that Pence is one of the reasonable ones.
It keeps happening. Nixon was an unprecedented monster, then it was W and the whole Mitch McConnell crew, and then Ted Cruz and MTG lowered the bar further, and now we're going lower than that.
I still remember when Mitt Romney was one of the massivest of the pieces of shit. Mitt Romney! Now he's not even welcome in the building, because of his reasonableness.
Regan was also a new low. Seems every GOP president we get is a new low.
It's the boiling frog overton window methodology to convert from a democracy to a theocratic oligarchy...
Or that Dick Cheney said he would vote for a democrat. You'd think that would help influence a few more people. The guys who were considered the hard right just 10-15 years prior are now saying "nah, fuck that guy. He's a lunatic".

Who is that convincing? Nobody likes Dick Cheney, so nobody is taking his advice on who to vote for. What it did is convince some Democrats that their party is even further to the right than they thought.
The people it would be influencing would be the older republicans. Basically the Reaganites. They're not the brainwashed maga, but still vote republican. It should have helped show them that the guy they thought of as a warhawk and far right wing won't even vote for the guy then maybe they shouldn't either.
Admittedly, I didn't like Harris walking around with Liz Chaney because main steam democrats are already too centrist. It would never help sway republican voters but would scare away democratic voters to be seen hand-in-hand with a person who praised trump in his first term.

Do those people actually exist? I thought that all of those people had converted to MAGA.
It's hard for me to imagine somebody liking Dick Cheney, but it's even harder for me to imagine somebody liking him so much that he could convince them to vote for the opposition. WTF were the Democratic consultants smoking?!
"Why didn't the endorsement of Satan himself, and not the cool one that believes in free will and feminism, the rapey and murder one, not sway people to our cause?" - libs
Still not voting for mike penis on the next round if they haven't burnt me in an oven with my family and friends complete naked.
Don't worry, you won't have to vote, it'll be fixed! /s
Oh that's right. The 3rd one.
He isn't.
