      Yeah, he was one of the last few republicans who hadn’t bought in fully to the trump cult-of-personality.

      The simple fact that he got primaried just goes to show how hopeless and irrecoverable that entire party is. The rot permeates republicanism at all levels.

      Maybe some voters still think there’s such a thing as a ā€œmoderate republican,ā€ but they’re either lying to themselves or they live under a rock in blissful ignorance.

      He isn’t an ally of any sort, but he does seem to be the last principled Republican. I’m sure his career is not over.

        I’ll take someone who has some principles and holds to them even if I don’t agree with all of them.

        Congress is just rife with people who have abandoned them, or never had them in the first place.
