So Massie is probably being genuine here. Massie generally falls into the “libertarian” bucket, and the “tea party” bucket back when that existed.
Generally if you follow these ideologies you would view Trump as a complete shitbag of a person. Now he might be a useful shitbag and I think many so called “libertarians” probably see that. Although I think we’ve also seen many in Congress call him a shitbag and then turn around and lick his ass.
However another common trait is that these people are stubborn. That can be annoying if you’re trying to compromise and get things done. That can be adventagous if they have a genuine belief (assuming you agree with it).
In this case I think Massie wants the truth. Could he just collect and read a list of only Democrats, protecting Republicans? It’s possible. Do I think that will happen? Probably not.
I agree. He’s well liked in his district based on being relatively independent and courting libertarians. That said, he did endorse Trump, so he’s definitely a Republican, but if he takes a stand on something, he’s probably not going to 180 just because Trump didn’t like it.
So, anybody who can stomach following politics closely, is this guy legit or is he just trying to one-up Trump due to personal grudges?
