"All this time," [Massie explained](https://reason.com/2017/03/15/thomas-massies-unified-theory-of-ron-pau/), "I thought they were voting for libertarian Republicans. But after some soul searching I realized when they voted for Rand and Ron and me in these primaries, they weren't voting for libertarian ideas—they were voting for the craziest son of a bitch in the race. And Donald Trump won best in class, as we had up until he came along."
Massie has been better than most/all other Republicans. But he's still Republican, and the fact that he chose to remain so under Trump for all these years says a lot about who he is. He's disappointed in voters, but he is that voter.
