Ours is a real RINO. Anybody except a Dem would be an improvement.

are they being paid off or threatened?

Just fed up I imagine. Going back to being in the minority can't be fun.

What’s interesting to me, is that they have chosen to leave during the middle of one of the most Conservative administrations in a long long time.

These folks have the opportunity to help usher in vast change that would be good for the nation, perhaps save it from fiscal ruin. Instead they are opting to take a pass on participation in that amazing opportunity.

Man, if I were on my death bed, I’d have them wheel me in to be a part of the fix. Nah, they’re just moving on...

We aren’t losing much, with these folks leaving > IMO. I don’t like giving the Left a shot at their slots, with newbies on both sides, but we don’t have a say in it.

“Slackers...”

Retiring at the ripe young age of 69. Good for him. Maybe he’ll get to see a lot more of his grandkids.

He's 69? Yup, time to stay home and spend time with the grandkids.

I'm 65, been retired for two years. I'm staying plenty busy with a senior in HS and an 8 YO grandson. I plan on applying to be a substitute teacher this week.

I'm not exactly a physically imposing guy, but I get the boys' attention when I talk about my time in the Army, especially the paratrooper part of it.

I've attended plenty of Veterans Day assemblies at a couple of schools, too.
