Sounds about right. I think maybe the issue is that McCain had the profile to get media coverage so his voice was more easily heard over the static of modern media coverage. You see stuff from rand Paul here and there, but it almost seems like he gets ignored by media a lot of the time.

I live in a Blue state, but my Congressional district usually runs Red. 
  
 Our district elected Republican Adam Kinzinger who is a HUGE never-Trumper. Most of the voters in my district, tend to be older Republicans, who have voted party for decades, and not issues/person. 
  
 Same with McCain who was in Congress for 38 years until his death. Personally, I believe Congress should have term limits just like the President.
