    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.

    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.
