    She’s going to get some kind of cushy book tour from the #NeverTrump Republicans and cash in on her “I’m in the president’s party but I don’t like him” the same way Ron Paul dined out as an anti-Bush Republican for over a decade.

    Nothing bad ever actually happens to these people, with the special exception of Charlie Kirk

      looks dubious

      Within the broader party, she was generally associated with Trump, and just recently ran into friction on a few issues.

      Ron Paul was famous for disagreeing with broader party positions, and had been doing it for a long time.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Paul

      he cast two thirds of all the lone negative votes in the House during a 1995–1997 period.[23]

      If you wanted to take someone who had a record of disagreement with Trump, maybe Thomas Massie from the small-government faction, or if you want someone centrist, maybe Lisa Murkowski.
