Cheney always had his own agenda, which certainly isn't Trump's. Much of his popularity with conservatives had more to do with how much the left hated him and with how many toes he could step on, rather than with agreements on policy. Those who are angry at other RINOs and neocons and NeverTrumpers, shouldn't want to give Cheney a pass.
We must also add that this is the Washington Post filtered through the MSM electronic media. That is similar in consistency and appeal to diarrhea filtered through a pasta colander.
