George Will has endorsed Kamala Harris for president. Watch out for flying pigs. The ultra-conservative, and baseball fan, comes to his decision reluctantly. He sees the need to dump Trump. His endorsement of Harris shows a clear lack of enthusiasm,...

    I’m going to keep pointing this out until it becomes a part of the narrative.

    The strategy of prominent Republicans flipping to vote for Harris is specifically designed to help Republicans win Congress.

    If Republican voters are demoralized by the prospect of Trump, a lot are going to just stay home and not vote at all. That would lead to a Democratic electoral sweep.

    Cheney, George Will and other Republican ghouls’ best option to avoid this is to give permission to their voting base to toss their Presidential vote to Harris, but also get them into the polls so they can be reliable Republican voters down the ticket and try to keep the House and take the Senate.

    FFS, quit giving the enemy oxygen.

      Not everything has to be 18D chess. Maybe they just hate Trump.

        It doesn’t have to be 18D chess, but it can also be a result that republicans will take advantage of.

          Everyone will take whatever advantage they can from any result. Apply previous sentence to any scenario.

      Interesting angle. If it wasn’t so close (how tf is it this close) I might agree more. But gop voters staying home, this way they vote for Harris and GOP Congress is also an interesting point. But maga Congress right now is a disaster, shutdowns and defaults are insane. So I think they want maga gone.
