Why not the worst first when we have the most leverage? If it’s moving keep pushing.

We have leverage now because of the election. Let’s say no senate seats change hands...what will happen after the election?

Collins of Maine and Murkowski of Alaska always have to suspected and assume they will vote with the Rats.

Before the election, the Senators running for seats in purple or reddish leaning states need to vote carefully. If their electorate takes issue with the way they vote and Trump’s candidate gets turned down with their help, it could go bad for them election day. So we could very well overcome the loss of Collins and Murkowski’s vote in a straight up vote.

After the election there is no such pressure, and we can hope to gain a few more Republican seats and make it sure, but...we have to keep in mind the balance could change, and the Dems could be in charge.

I don’t think it will happen, but they don’t know what is going to happen either.

I do agree with you-keep the pressure on. Trump does have that Patton-Like streak in him!
