I think it was over for bush the elder the moment he turned to look at his watch to see what time it was. “When’s this going to be over?” was his thought bubble.

Forget the money, you think a guy with this medical history would undertake this endeavor?
He has suffered five heart attacks, undergone open heart surgery, multiple catheterizations and angioplasties, had a defibrillator implanted, and a pump attached directly to his heart – all of that before his transplant at age 71.

This is probably the correct take on Cheney’s primary motivation: she’s generally hard-right ideologically but no insurrectionist and clearly has few illusions about what MAGA represents. She also probably sees as clearly as anyone that MAGA’s leader in fact has no ideology other than himself.
