You are misunderstanding their priorities.
People from former republican administrations are not the sort of people who take principled, reasonable positions.
These are sycophants jumping from the burning ship.
They know any chance Trump had to recapture power vanished when Biden decided not to re-run.
They know the republican party is in a bad place because Trump's RNC is doing nothing to support down-ticket candidates. It's a powerless organization made only of unpopular positions on any sort of visible issues.
MAGA will continue to imprint itself through the judiciary until Dems pack the courts (again), but supporting Kamala is the sycophant's only play right now.
Because they are not reasonable or principled people, I would not expect them to have any reasonable or principled input on policy.
Your suprised at the idea that these ghouls could genuinely prefer Harris even after knowing her border policies?
A lot of liberal voters don't know her border policies
Nobody cares about anyone's border policies, except for Trump's racist base.
You should try to tell Kamala that then, her current pitch is that she will be harder on the border than Trump.
I care quite a lot about Kamala adopting Joe's border shutdown policies, and her deciding to run on Trump being 'soft' on the border.
Republicans jumping ship isn't talked about enough. Paul Ryan knew to bail before those investigations started about corruption back in 2015ish. I think even more republicans saw Trump throw his own VP under the bus and realized they, too, are expendable. And since Trump has faced zero consequences while everyone around him goes to prison, they don't want to rely on getting a pardon when the party wants them to do something stupid.
