The endorsement circus has reached new lows as the Kamala Harris campaign dredges up the washed-up McCains and Cheneys to lend her some GOP credibility. The once-revered political dynasties are now merely sad footnotes in the annals of conservatism, willing to abandon their principles to keep their names in the headlines. Clearly, desperation knows no bounds.
The latest exhibit in this embarrassment parade is Jimmy McCain, son of the late Senator John McCain. He has emerged from the shadows to declare his support for Harris, claiming that she and her running mate Tim Walz are the ones to “make this country better.” One has to wonder what Jimmy sees when he looks around, as Harris’s policies have decimated the economy, exacerbated border crises, and inflamed global tensions. If this is moving the country “forward,” then perhaps backward is the new forward.
Biggest Traitors to the Conservative Cause – the McCain Family or the Cheney Family? https://t.co/MXwnt4wrzC

Following closely in this parade of political misfits are the Cheneys, led by Liz and her father, Dick, who somehow still believes he has any credibility left to lend. Liz’s recent endorsement of Harris rivals the most absurd statements one might expect from the far-left. The utter disdain for Trump has led them to throw their lot in with a candidate who has shown a complete disregard for conservative values, unveiling a level of hypocrisy that rivals the most brazen Democrat.
The McCains’ antics have their cringe-worthy moments, especially with Cindy McCain acting as a cheerleader for the Biden administration and claiming that her late husband would be proud of her betrayal. This notion of doing the “right thing” apparently includes supporting policies that strangle American businesses and undermine the very fabric of conservative beliefs. Meghan McCain, with her juvenile comments about Trump, just adds a sprinkle of ridiculousness. Her antics demonstrate a profound inability to engage with the political discourse constructively, opting instead for childish insults over thoughtful critique.
Dick Cheney’s return to the mainstream political scene has been an exercise in futility. This is a man who once evoked the ire of the left as a supposed war criminal but has now become a pawn in the Democrat playbook. His dire predictions about Trump and his zealous opposition to the former president only serve to highlight how far the Cheney family has fallen. The political instruments of the left are using him as a prop to bolster a failing campaign instead of a principled stand.
Both the McCains and the Cheneys appear unified in their fear of Trump, a man whose only actual crime was being an unapologetic outsider disrupting their privileged positions. Their betrayal is less about politics and more about personal vendettas. One must wonder what kind of resolve it takes to completely abandon one’s principles over hurt feelings and bruised egos. As these families squabble for attention, it is evident they are not only irrelevant but offer a cautionary tale of how personal sentiment can corrupt one’s entire legacy.
Ultimately, the question remains: who is the bigger traitor to conservative principles? Whether it’s the McCains or the Cheneys, the result is indifference to the real issues facing America. Neither family seems poised for a political comeback, and perhaps that’s the best outcome for traditional conservatism. The nation is witnessing the sad demise of these once-great political legacies, leaving true patriots to forge a new path forward, one that is devoid of the compromises and failings of the past.
