Not sure this was linked earlier in the thread or not. Jeff Flake (GOP Senator) with a pretty forthright piece on what his party has become.
Of course he still votes lockstep with them....

Flake is definitely trying to position himself for a future run for President. But as you pointed out, when push comes to shove, he has backed Trump at every turn. He voted for every single Trump cabinet appointee and also voted to repeal the ACA. Whenever the Trump era ends, and the media begins its inevitable quest to rehabilitate the GOP by promoting "reasonable moderates," hopefully people remember who actually cast votes against Trump and took stances that mattered. Right now, the pickings are pretty slim on that front.
