The Swamp...

A good reason was because "it sucks and we suck because we had seven long years to come up with a bulletproof replacement and failed. And even though I was part of Congress all those seven years, I never added anything significantly altering to make said replacement bulletproof."

There's the problem. It's not like he was pulling a Rand Paul and screaming about it months and years in advance. Nor advancing his own changes to be made. He went with the crowd and when it came time for the decisions to be made, all the sudden voted against the replacement.

Like I said, I don't hold that against him. However, I do question why.

McCain, Graham, McConnell, Corker, Alexander and group are only interested in how they can line their own pockets.

Are you saying good old fashioned American greed isn't always the best motivator?

Taking lessons from septic on being obtuse?

Comparing corruption to the basic greed that leads to innovation and discovery is not logical.

Nice try. Greed being your primary motivator is almost never good. We "attempt" to create systems in which it works. It's still an inappropriate motivator. I thought the American way was to do anything and everything possible, as long as it's not explicitly illegal, to enrich yourself.
