The meme is that Susan Collins is “always concerned”. But still votes along with the MAGAs. If they are silently going along, what difference does it make? They are still MAGA.

The difference comes when Trump needs help but no longer wields power.

His dyed in the wool followers will still support him.

The convenience crowd? I wouldn't take that bet. Especially after he's been such a dick to so many folks in his own party.

But we'll see.

No one except the Freedom Caucus in the House are true MAGA to their core the rest are just opportunists. I’m not sure who are the true believers in the Senate.

I get the sense that Republican senators have always been more willing to see this administration as a passing tide.

E.g. Thune's propensity for letting Trump's more excessive ideas die on the vine.
