The Cheney endorsement would have been unthinkably mind-blowing 20 years ago or even 10 years ago, but given that a muscular foreign policy was always Cheney's biggest issue, it makes sense that Trump's isolationism scares him to death....enough to endorse a Democrat "until the Republican Party returns to its Cheney-endorsed senses" (spoiler alert: it won't).

Generally agreed, but there's no way to reliably predict the long-term future of the post-Trump Republican Party. If you were talking to someone 100 years ago, could you have predicted that the Democrats would be the party of civil rights and the Republicans would be the party of neo-Confederacy?
Thom Hartmann was interviewed a long time ago and said that Trump Republicans wanted to go back to the days of the Eisenhower times. He might be thinking of the era, not so much the specific policies and agenda Eisenhower as POTUS had.
