On Corker, Flake and McCain

I would never vote for any of them. They're Republicans. However, good for them for saying what many are afraid to say about the man in the White House. They have my support for that, despite my objections to their support for legislation that goes against my beliefs.

So, I'll praise them for speaking out about the disaster that is Donald Trump. That does not mean that I support them in any other way.

We can comment favorably on individual actions of which we approve without that meaning general support.

If they really cared about what was happening, they'd being doing something to really stop it instead of just talking about how bad things are (as if they had nothing to do with it).
