Jonah Goldberg: The problem with Liz Cheney's endorsement of Kamala Harris

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : And her political career is therefore over -- or at least it is so long as the GOP remains in thrall to Trump.
35% : If the former congresswoman had opted to back Trump -- or just backtrack on her condemnations of him after a "respectable" period of time the way former Speaker Kevin McCarthy and so many others did -- she might be the speaker today.
34% : (I will never vote for Trump.)
32% : She has repeatedly said she would "do everything I can" to make sure Trump doesn't return to the White House.
28% : But she stuck to her convictions, demanding that Trump be held accountable for his disqualifying behavior on and around Jan. 6, 2021.
19% : Mitt Romney, Trump's immediate predecessor as the GOP presidential nominee, and his running mate, former House Speaker Paul Ryan, have said they won't vote for Trump.
16% : If Cheney and other anti-Trump conservatives are going to face the charge that they're just born-again left-wingers, why don't they criticize Harris' progressive politics while saying they're going to vote for her anyway because supporting Trump isn't an option?Asking millions of conservatives who dislike Trump to simultaneously defenestrate their party's nominee, their party and their principles is too much.
4% : It's unlikely anyone inclined to vote for Harris will be moved to vote for Trump because Liz Cheney says Harris is dismayingly left-wing but still the lesser evil.
