Dan Sterley, I too voted for Stock.  But don't assume that a vote in favor of her independence and intelligence has anything to do Trump.  Trump supporters--whether screaming rednecks or reluctant suit-and-tie Republicans--are wallowing in self-delusion. Senator  Margaret Stock may or may not be able to change anything in Washington, but she'll use rational and ethical means to try.  Trump and his posse have proved for over a year now that they recognize no such limitations.  Lie continuously (and then lie about your lying!), surround yourself with ghouls, inflict Twitter assaults and smears on anyone who criticizes you, assault women who are too uppity (Lewandowski, e.g.) or just unlucky enough to be within Trump's reach, produce ludicrously unreal "policy" charades, conceal everything possible about your business affairs . . . on and on.

Any politician who makes common cause with them is like the German conservatives who brought Hitler to power thinking they could control him.
