The last bipartisan politician? "His transition from Al Gore’s running mate in 2000 on the Democratic ticket to high-profile cheerleader for Republican presidential candidate John McCain eight years later was a turnaround unmatched in recent American politics...McCain seriously considered making Mr. Lieberman his running mate, but his advisers warned that Mr. Lieberman’s Democratic history and voting record, particularly his stand in favor of abortion rights, would anger convention delegates and split the party. McCain instead chose the right-wing populist governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, a decision he later said he regretted." www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2024/03/27/joe-lieberman-senator-vice-president-dead/ |

It's of course impossible to say what McCain, if still alive, might have had to say about Trump this year, but I strongly suspect he would be found in the Liz Cheney faction of the Republican Party. |
