This morning’s reveals and reviews of the various rah-rah speeches at the DNC last night made me wonder if I might have wanted to see them firsthand instead of reading about them in various publications this morning. I understand they were electrifying in their delivery. But I can find them online, just as I can find the transcripts.
There’s something more interesting to me going on here. And it is that various prominent Republicans have spoken in favor of Harris. Spoken so favorably, in fact, that they are endorsing her over their party’s nominee.
Some of them have made it clear that they are not endorsing Democratic policies particularly, but that they are embracing the idea that a Trump autocracy is not the way to go. They are realizing that it’s not just this election that is in question; it’s elections down the road. They don’t want King Trump I even if they have to vote for a bi-racial woman in the deal.
Maybe I’m being Pollyanna, but if Republicans can vote for a Democrat for president, might this suggest that they can work across the aisle (Sorry for the cliched phrase!) in the coming years? It was that way once.
