The chairman of the Washington County, PA Repubican party defended their censure of Sen Pat Toomey for voting to convict Donald Trump by saying out loud in an interview that it was done because ''we didn't send him there to vote his conscience, or do the right thing.''  Does that reflect the feelings of the GOPers on this forum?  Really?

If we are to the point where our political parties are succeeding in demanding every follower take a litmus test elevating loyalty to the party over love of the country and above doing ''the right thing'', then we might as well surrender to authoritarianism now witout further bother.
