We are in uncharted territory as a Nation. All men of principle, despite party must stand up and remove Trump.

That was a brave speech. Period.

I agree! Taking a principled stand for Democracy has been long overdue, but let's be glad when ANYONE finally gets there!

i dont agree, Shaun. Does it take guts to do the right thing, even if it jeopardizes your party or your job?

Flake. Corker. McCain have quite a long time left in office. Let us see what they do. I don't expect them to vote against a conservative agenda. But they do have interesting options in terms of creative ways to make the Dotard's life hell.

I bet he was thinking "I'm going to speak the truth! I don't need you campaigning for/against me in the next election!"

Maybe that's the spark that ignites the flame. Took courage to say it still. Too late is saying nothing at all.

It certainly takes guts whether we agree with their policies or not. They aren’t leaving their jobs tomorrow! Flake has more than a year left.

And sadly, anyone who speaks out now likely has their foot forced out the door - whether they like it or not. Sad state of affairs for the GOP and our democracy...

What they’re saying maybe. They haven’t *done* anything.

They probably burned a lot of friends and bridges

Don't discount value of white guys too disgusted to keep playing nice with so-called president. Flake isn't McCain. Resists as he can.

Look at how GOP boos McCain for having a spine.

Agreed. They are giving up their careers as congressmen to do this. That's brave, I think.

Leaving the GOP would show they mean business.
