A House Republican who voted to impeach President Donald Trump has announced that he is retiring.

Ohio GOP Rep. Anthony Gonzalez announced on Thursday night that he would be retiring at the conclusion of his current term.

Gonzalez’s announcement comes as he’s facing a tough primary challenge from Marine Corps veteran and former Trump administration official Max Miller, who has been endorsed by Trump in Ohio’s 16 District.

In his statement, which was posted to Twitter, Gonzalez cited alleged “toxic dynamics” within the Republican Party, where he bizarrely acted surprised that he has faced criticism among Trump supporters for voting to impeach President Trump.

Better to keep that war chest rather than spend it and lose. Either that or the fix is set for the Democrat anyway.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Problem is, I don't think Boehner's cries were fake.  He's a meloncholy drunk.

As I understand it, Kinzinger is out of a district, so unless he carpetbags, he's gone.

That's good news, but surprised Prickster and his cronies didn't try to squeeze a more conservative member out of a district.

Update: it's just a proposal at this point, but it also looks like the IL Dems are trying to squeeze or weaken two GOP US House districts, Kinzinger being one of them, as they are losing a seat.
