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.

The Republican party needs new life in leadership or they'll be toast by the time the next election comes around, If the leadership still includes punch-able faces like McConnell, Cruz, McCarthy, Jordan and Nunes in four years they will have zero chance.
I think some young injection of new blood is needed, a guy like Adam Kinzinger who is likeable, smart, has stood up to Trump and survived is the type the party needs to look at.
