Tillis had found himself squeezed between a key lesson of his career — don’t mess with voters’ health care — and President Trump’s biggest domestic priority. With Democrats eager to hold the measure’s deep Medicaid cuts against him, and Trump blasting him for wavering, Tillis decided there was only one option left: self-deportation from Washington (also known as retirement).

And he’s not the only one, as congressional Republicans reckon with the fact that even a modicum of independence from Trump can be politically untenable in their branch of government.

;Earlier today, Representative Don Bacon of Nebraska, a Trump critic and a perennially endangered Republican who had nevertheless held onto his Omaha-area seat for five terms, officially announced his intention to retire.

“I’d like to fight for the soul of our party,” he said in an interview with The New York Times in early June. “I don’t want to be the guy who follows the flute player off the cliff. I think that’s what’s going on right now.”

Rep. Bacon is spot on...Trump is leading the GOP and America over a cliff to ruin...
