    Massie is less likely to do that than most. He’s the token reasonable Republican. You always have one who has either principles or limited empathy.

    I would prefer actual empathy, but a principled man is someone you can usually work with.

        I’m saying that there’s one reasonable republican, who occasionally breaks with the party due to actually having some principles. This one person gives the rest cover.

        The rest have no principles beyond self enrichment. They believe in nothing except power. The one token reasonable one is just that. One.
