Listening to Liz Cheney -- she raises many grave accusations against Trump, most of which ring true – both to my memories of the event and to the numerous testimonies of his former aids and supporters. Incidentally, this was the first time I heard a Liz Cheney speech; she has intelligence and gravitas, and she impressed me.
Listening to Harris -- any time she deviates from the script, she sounds like the same vacuous twit she’s been since coming onto the national stage. Yes, she can make a speech, but Presidents are not ceremonial posts that only require looking good and being able to read off the teleprompter.
How can we trust her to make the most monumental decision any human being can be required to make in the space of eight minutes when she can’t ad-lib a simple sentence or answer a simple question (without a rehearsed response)?
We truly face a Hobson’s choice: neither candidate is acceptable, yet sitting out the proverbial “most consequential election in history” seems irresponsible.
Go for the “lesser of two evils”? Which one? You enumerated Trump’s faults, and I accept most of them; yet the harebrained “border tzar” presided over the most brazen importation of voters designed to establish a one-party rule for decades. Do we want the whole of America to be turned into California?
As Charles C. W. Cook explains, Liz Cheney’s about-face will merely increase the supply of cynicism concerning American politics, by validating the widely held belief that our political elites believe in absolutely nothing.
Thank you for posting this, Claire.

I despair.
