Yep, I am having to hope he wins.

Name the two senators from New Mexico. Or Washington. How about Rhode Island.
80% of Senators and 95% of Congresspeople are just votes. Most of the ones we know are the "mavericks" who go off the reservation, McCain, Sinema, Fetterman. Do you have a reason to think Plattner will switch parties? Or cast critical votes to confirm some awful Trump judge?
Nobody in Maine does. But we know that Collins will make every vote Trump needs. She has "voted against Trump" a few times, but never when her vote made a difference. For close votes they let Collins and Mirkowski or Tillis vote NO as long as it doesn't flip the outcome. If Rand Paul is voting NO they have to draw straws.
