I see five Pubs deserted the party, turncoats.

Will there be enough Pubs in the Senate to pass it, I see there are 28Rs to 20Ds?

Yeah this is rough and reason for pessimism. I didn't read the details of Trump wanting the nuclear option. And all those Pubs retiring from the House.

At least some come/stay on board for certain issues who felt burned by Trump in some way for either the good of the country or their chances of being re-elected.

McCain is the worst traitor imo. And he has a history of turning when there was no personal vendetta. Most of the others are in a shaky position in their districts as to re-election.
