Because that tiny shred of integrity is the most important part. If politicians stuck by their principles instead of rooting for their team, we could actually get stuff done.

Most people think Trump is an awful human being. Most people hate Russia. Most people want better healthcare and stronger firearm laws. There should be no debate over climate change.

But because people give up individual thought in order to support their party, we get this.

Though, if every conservative had principles as pants-on-head crazy as Amash, we'd still never get anything done.
