McCain beats to his own drum

It is a subtle mash up of “march to the beat of his own drum” and I think “he is his own man”, both meaning someone who does things that don’t conform to the standard or prevalent norm. A shout out to Susie and Andy Wakshul for hearing this one.
I think there’s “blowing your own horn” mixed in, too.
Agree!
