@JayCostTWS Parties often send useful signals to voters. But not always. The case of Amash illustrates how breaking with one's party is sometimes the only way to adhere to the Constitutional principles a candidate told voters they would uphold. Also recall the Founders' concern about faction — PolitiTweet.org

@JayCostTWS No, it isn't. Justin Amash has stayed utterly true to the principles he ran on and that his constituents chose in their representative--much more so than if he would've abandoned those principles to stay loyal to Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

@JayCostTWS In short, there's a case for the utility of parties, but in the present landscape, I think excessive partisan loyalty is a far bigger problem than insufficient partisan loyalty, though I grant the latter could be a problem in theory. — PolitiTweet.org
