First it was Liz Cheney and now Cassidy Hutchinson [View all]

Both were first admired on these pages and then vilified for “being loyal Republicans.”

Yes, they are. Always have been and will be, hoping for the return of the “old time” party which probably will never happen.

Still, we, the nation, including DUers owe them for maybe saving the country.

So please don’t propose Cheney for president and don’t expect Hutchinson to bad mouth all the Republicans for whom she worked, and who helped her career.

Just accept them for who they are and be grateful for their shining moment in history.

Please.
