I know that's an easy take. But almost any republican who does that before an election would have got replaced with a Trump loyalist.
It makes for a legitimate dilemma in that position. If you are a moderate Republican who is disgusted with what's happening, is it more effective to stick around to quietly push against that crap, or speak out and get replaced with a hard line supporter?
I'll give these guys a small kudos for speaking out for the right thing even without much to lose.
