2. Happy to see him go, but this is one more example of why people need to stop blaming voters.
The people of his district elected him, but his perceived disloyalty to Party powers trumps that and, when that happens, Party powers could care less what the people who vote really want. And guess who has more ability to see that their desires override any contrary desires?

This is even more so in the Democratic Party, where Super Delegates can override the will of primary voters.

Yet, some blame voters, not Party leaders.
