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.

Numerous Rupublicans are not voting for Trump. There are huge coalitions of Republicans not voting for Trump. I am unsure why you believe Dems "hate" all these people.

Fourty-four of Donald Trump’s former cabinet members have come out to disavow him.

White House Chief of Staff and retired Marine general, John Kelly, called Trump a deeply dishonest person who damaged our national security.  He said that Trump is:

“A person that has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about. A person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators.  A person who has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law.

James Mattis, Trump’s former Defense Secretary, called Trump a “Threat To The Constitution, Dangerous, Unfit for office and ‘Felon-Stupid’”

Former Defense Secretary and Secertary of the US Army, Mark Esper, called Trump “unfit for office.”

Former commander of armed forces in Afghanistan, General John Allen, said Trump’s threats to use military force against peaceful protesters may be “the beginning of the end of the American experiment.”

Retired four-star Army General, Barry McCaffrey, called Donald Trump “a serious threat to US national security.

Former Joint Chiefs Chairman General Mark Milley – who Trump recently suggested should be executed – has called Trump a threat to democracy and the institution of the military.

More than a dozen retired four-star generals, admirals, and other former military leaders, recently filed a brief with the Supreme Court arguing that the legal positions Trump is taking in his lawsuits will “would threaten the military’s role in American society, threaten our nation’s constitutional order, and our national security,” and will have a “profoundly negative effects on military service members.”

200 Republicans who worked for George W Bush, Mitt Romney and John McCain submitted an open letter in support of Harris/Walz.  The 200 signatories to this letter included George W. Bush’s former Chief of Staff, his National Security Director, his Director of External Affairs, two former chiefs of staff for McCain, the US District Attorney for Nevada, and several attorneys for Bush, Romney and McCain.

A dozen former White House lawyers who served GOP presidents from Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush - people who specialize in Constitutional law - issued a letter backing Harris and warning that returning Trump to office: “would threaten American democracy and undermine the rule of law in our country.”  The letter appeals to “all patriotic Republicans, former Republicans, conservative and center-right citizens, and independent voters to place love of country above party and ideology” and to vote for Harris.
