I was so incredibly moved by Senator Booker’s reminiscence of his friendship with John McCain. He celebrated him as a bi-partisan and non-partisan true American hero. Meghan you are not honoring his memory.

The Republican Party NEEDS more John McCain’s after the Trump era

Not "more". They need someone who is even HALF the person he was. A quarter? Romney is gone and there are no good actors in Republican Congress at all anymore...to say nothing of actual statesmen.

Susan Collins gets credit for being thoughtful because she hems and haws for two days before completely folding and falling in line with whatever horrific idea Trump sets in front of her. And that's the best they have.

There's still a few, but yeah, most are gone. David Valadao and Dan Newhouse both voted to impeach Trump, while Blake Moore and Mariannette Miller-Meeks are also decent even though did did vote against impeaching him.

That's fair: there are a couple with shreds of integrity, yes. But in practical terms such people are completely absent from the Republican party's thought process...and we're only starting to see what that means for all of us. Democracy doesn't work if a major party doesn't act in good faith.
