4. We need Republican voters, more than ever, the more the better

Donald Trump is a common enemy to people of the sane persuasion, ideological differences notwithstanding. The threats he poses to democracy and global stability cannot be overstated. I applaud Liz Cheney for being 100% correct in her commitment to do whatever is necessary to keep Trump out of the White House. If future events have her returning to the GOP conservative mainstream and running for office under that banner, I would certainly oppose her candidacy. But for now, she "gets" it, and that is a good thing. Hopefully more in her party will come around in the weeks ahead. For reasons that are well-understood, a popular vote majority bolstered by overwheming Democratic enthusiasm may not be adequate, and the Harris-Walz margin of victory will likely be assured by disproportionate support from independent voters as well as Republican crossovers. Again, we need them to win and should seek out and welcome their support, even if it is of a temporary nature.
