Agree.. I was also wondering why people assume he would leave the party based on him not agreeing with everything Trump says or does… would a Democrat do that?

IMO, there is (or at least should be) a wide gulf between "leave the Republican party" and "endorse/campaign for Donald Trump." There are plenty of Republicans who won't do either of those things.

Agree. Liz Cheney is far from a Democrat and endorsing Harris. She's not leaving her party at all. Adam Kinzinger is conservative. While he no longer supports Republicans, he seems to be building a coalition to do what equated to (I'm paraphrasing) being in a trench when he was solider and fighting the enemy that's five feet away from you first (i.e. Trump) and then dealing with the problem that's 50 feet away next. Cheney and Kinzinger see their work as putting out the MAGA fire to create space to get back to where true conservatives trying to conserve small government can do that work. Just my take.
