A political moron with terrible ideas, yes. But I think treasonous is the wrong word, which is what sets him apart from his comrades in the republican party.

It's not that people remember him as someone they would have liked to vote for, but he was over of very few republicans to speak out against trumpism.

Sort of like how Romney was one of few republicans recognizing the election result. It has just gotten to a point where we expect the worst from these people, and it's somehow worth celebrating when they defy our expectations.
