Texas Republican state Reps. Brian Harrison, Nate Schatzline, Tony Tinderholt, and Steve Toth are being investigated for campaigning against one or more of their colleagues — and they are willing to leave their own party for it.

The group of four campaigned publicly against several of their colleagues during primary and runoff elections, including Speaker Dade Phelan. If these Republicans do not like their own rules, they should change them, not leave the party without a fight.
