Sounds like he was a Ted Cruz supporter that became a “Ryan type” Trump supporter.

Both candidates made it clear they support Trump and vehemently oppose Clinton. But they offered contrasting approaches to a Trump presidency.
Marshall: “I will support the president and work with him to get things done.”
Huelskamp: “One thing to know about Tim Huelskamp is I have conservative principles, and I’m going to stand on those conservative principles. If you don’t have conservative principles, I will work against you.”
A guy who talks in 3rd person about his ‘principles’ definitely deserved to lose.
“Both candidates made it clear they support Trump”
BS. Watch and draw your own conclusion:

These days, “conservative” applied by a politician to thrir own self is a code word for GOPee K Street teat sucker.
Huelskamp took heavy fire from the farm bureau and other groups for his votes against a farm bill that would have provided staples like crop insurance to farmers in his district. He said he did so because the legislation spent far more on food stamps than agricultural programs.
A vote for Marshall was a vote for food stamps.
