The Republican party is never going to deal some crushing blow to The Left. The biggest justification for supporting the GOP is "lesser of two evils." That won't work if the GOP is the only evil in town.
There was one fellow way back in the day. Senator Joe Lieberman. He would vote for what was best for his constituents, didn't matter who proposed it. The Dems kicked him out of the party, of course, but he ran as a "third party candidate" & still won. He didn't make the jump to the Repubs though. :/
He ran as VP with Gore.
He backed some really stupid bills, but also was the nail in the coffin that killed Obama's "public health insurance option" which would have created a Government-run "health insurance company" which would have made Obamacare at least TWICE as bad as it turned out to be.
He died in 2024 :/
So... one! Lolz! I cannot think of another, except the chick who switched teams recently.

Like the Iraq War?
He spearheaded the attack against video games and music along with Hillary Clinton and Tipper Gore too. Quite a hero.
