12. There are at least a dozen Repukes that are not afraid of Trump

Anyone retiring after the next two years. Any Repuke in a purple district that knows that they can't win a general without Dem leaners. And some true believers in crazy commitments like never voting to increase the debt limit, primaries be damned.

There are 219 Republicans in Congress. no doubt 200 are scared shitless. But there are about a dozen Trump can't shake, as evidenced on the votes last week.

The problem they have is that the Speaker (whoever it is) will not put a bi-partisan bill, which would pass, on the floor if Trump objects.

That's why it will be hard for the MAGAts to govern.
