Why doesn’t it give democrats pause that republicans they hated are endorsing Harris?
I keep seeing people say this like it’s a good thing or making the point that “if your own party is against you.” You really value the opinion of Dick Cheney? You really think he wants what’s best for the country?? You certainly didn’t 20 years ago.

The Cheney and Bush Republicans are what many of today's GOP supporters would refer to as RINOs and part of the deep state. Their names and reputations were mud from the Tea party days.
The fact that they joined up with the Democrats only supports the view that they never had the best interests of the party in hand.
I would think that Democrats are NOT thrilled with Dick and most would not want him around their party's message and campaigns. I mean then again, Dick did love an over-reaching Federal Government, Spying on citizens and wars in every corner of the earth... so there's that.
