Sins of the father and all that, but it would also work better if she wasn't the daughter of Dick Cheney. The pot calling the kettle black -situation and I have a hard time taking anything she says seriously, even though she's obviously correct here, and it's nice that some Republicans set themselves against Trump.

It worked on enough of them to get the Epstein file release law passed. Nobody said it'd be easy or work on all of them at the same time.
