I'm not cynical enough to just disregard those things, especially since they did them despite the overwhelming backlash they'd face from their own ranks.
Cheney and Kirzinger were already strong candidates to be primaried before they voiced their opposition to Trump. These are all political opportunists who have found a path to save their reputations so that they can still get gigs on K street or in the media circles enjoyed by naive liberals.
