16. Massie is a hardline, hardcore Republican.

He will not switch parties. He votes with Trump 94% of the time. I fully expect him
to win his primary which will go a long way to break Trump's hold on elected Republicans.
That is why they are spending millions to beat him. I am not a fan, but admire his courage
as we all should. We need Democrats and Republicans, especially elected officials who
will speak truth to power. He has put everything on the line including his life.

He is a true republican with a a small r, the kind that won our revolution. I am am grateful
as he is the kind of person who may just save our republic.
