One Republican in Congress has had enough. I wonder how many others are
starting to wake up. His reasons for leaving say a lot.

shamed into admitting the truth by his high school daughter, says a
thing the party doesn't approve. Questioned, he responds in kind
(more worried about what the daughter might say) and the party
abandons him. He spins it as "having enough" and whether he wants it
or not does the right thing.
Hellava way to run a country. Greed, ambition, job security, often
Trump (pun intended) morality, ethics and reason.
There's something totally evil and absolutely wrong about the phrase
"career politician."

No, he wasn't. The people who use the made-up word "RINO" are the real
RINOs. You're really Nazis, but you're embarrassed by the word, so you
masquerade as Republicans. Every Nazi who runs for office in the USA does
so as a nominal Republican. That's a fact.

McCain is the jerk-off who handed the fake dossier over.
McCain is the one who wanted to replace Obamacare.... but when the
vote came up, he was the one who killed that legislation.
McCain was pissed because Trump did not praise him as a hero.
McCain killed many US Navy personnel on the USS Forestal.
He was a traitor when he was captured.
He dumped his wife when he came back for a richer, better looking
babe.

There was no "fake dossier." You're bullshitting.
I would not have liked a President McCain, but he was a legitimate - and
typical - Republican for his era. And he didn't start any disaster on the
Forrestal. That's just bullshit proto-Nazi right-wingnut myth.

He is dead now.
And, ... since you have no clue as to how Naval investigations are
done, you bought into the final cover-up report. McCain Senior did
NOT want his son to be blamed for his incompetence. Therefore, the
skipper on the Forestal was very careul in his wording. Let me inform
you that there are always 2 reports prepared. The report that is
released is completely different from the other one that goes on a
shelf and then locked up. This report is only briefed to the highest
officials, and is meant to actually find fault, get all the testimony
recorded, and is used by the Higher Q to determine who really was at
fault. I remember when Gen LeMay fired a Wing Commander once because
he just wasn't lucky.
If you wish to worship McCain as a hero,... go for it.
I will pass.
Just as I will never forgive Jane Fonda for her bull shit.

Justin Amash is a man without a party. That’s because no party can win
with his ideas.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/07/05/justin-amash-is-man-without-party-thats-because-no-party-can-win-with-his-ideas/?utm_term=.bc8353eee941
Amash’s decision means he will be effectively powerless in Washington.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) is a Democrat, and she has no
reason to deal with Amash or afford him any slots on committees. The
Republicans now have even less incentive to accommodate him. With
Democrats comfortably in the majority, they will not need his vote to
pass any legislation. So Amash will be alone in the political
wilderness and free to cast whatever votes he chooses — and affect
absolutely nothing.
His real complaint, of course, is not that the partisan system has
broken down; it’s that his brand of free-market, noninterventionist
libertarianism no longer has a comfortable home within the Republican
Party. This puts him in the company of former senator Jeff Flake
(R-Ariz.), who chose not to run for reelection last year after polls
showed him losing his primary to a candidate more in line with today’s
Republican Party. Flake decried this turn from Barry Goldwater’s
libertarian-tinged conservatism, going so far as to write a book that
borrowed Goldwater’s 1960 cri du coeur, “Conscience of a
Conservative,” arguing for a return to those older values.
Amash is a man without a party because a party that embraced his ideas
cannot win. Whether he loses a reelection bid or runs a quixotic
presidential campaign, as many expect, on the Libertarian Party
ticket, he will soon be gone from political life. And the dream of a
libertarian-dominated Republican Party will go with him.
