Yeah, it’s a seminal moment for them, they were inevitably going to face this juncture, eliminate the filibuster and consolidate power is what they’ll find themselves pretty amenable to
for sure. i think the most extreme, servile-to-trump, ride or die portion are probably all for removing the filibuster. they aren’t imagining a post-trump landscape, they are living for the moment.
but there is certainly some portion of republican senators hedging for a political career in a post-trump landscape, and just maybe aren’t all that keen to disconnect the emergency brake given how completely off the rails things have gone in the last 9 months.
what portion falls on either side is the mystery, because of course they all want to appear loyal to the MAGA for as long as it benefits them.
