It should pass through the house without issue. The senate will be trickier.

I expect the GOP to start cutting ties with Trump to save their own skin. He’s a lame duck and these people will have aspirations beyond his time.

and I think many, many a repig are realizing that it's time to fold 'em to save their own skin.

It's funny, and not in a humorous way, but they won't do it for the right reasons, they're doing it to try to preserve their power and grift.
