How about add Cheney to a major cabinet position in the Harris administration? Like Secretary of State? I think that would be a compromise worth making.

There are roughly three Republicans who would even care about Liz Cheney having a cabinet position, much less affirmatively want it (Liz Cheney, Dick Cheney, and Adam Kinzinger to the extent he’s still pretending to be a Republican).

Since VP Harris is going around with Liz Chaney this week to target center-right Haley voters, there is one consistent message I've heard coming from a lot of those types of voters. It is "What policy trade off is Harris willing to make in order to make it worth my vote?" So I was wondering what policy trade offs Harris voters would be willing to make in order to win the election. Let's assume she needs to make two of the following eight. Which two would you, as a Harris voter, be willing to see her make a concession on if it would mean she beats Trump?

1. SCOTUS nominees - Produce a list of centrist judges that she would nominate if a seat opened up.
2. Abortion - Agree to pass a law that limits abortion to the first two trimesters with the only exceptions for rape and health of the mother for the third.
3. Immigration - Promising to build a wall with Mexico and deport convicted felons. No path to citizenship included.
4. Military Spending - DoD is funded for 4 years at 2% above inflation.
5. Fracking & LNG - Promise to expand Fracking leases on federal lands and approve and speed up development of LNG export facilities.
6. Nuclear Power - Promise to work with the DOE to speed up approval and construction of new Nuclear power plants.
7. School Choice - Agree to a federal law that ties school funding to the child and the parents get to choose what school to send their child to with it. (Assume there is an income cap at $400k).
8. Gun Control - Promising a Federal law ensures concealed carry reciprocity between all states and territories and no additional gun control initiatives.

Give me # 1, 4, and 8 and I might be okay with Harris for this year. But she won’t and I’ll likely vote for Trump. And the challenge in this hypothetical is that you’d have to have something to bind her to actually following through on them, because the insistence that she doesn’t intend to do any of the things she said in the 2020 primaries is not exactly confidence inspiring.

Going with the rapist, the high character choice?

Pretty wild you need a 6-3 GOP court lean to feel safe voting for a Democrat. It’s not healthy having a court that’s hard right or hard left. It doesn’t represent the will or morals of the people.

We can discuss that in a separate thread. This one is about what policies you would be willing to give concessions on.
