And they don't want to vote for it.

And they know how bad it is.

They feel the same way about the ballroom, which we'll talk about in a second.

The other thing that's happening in the Senate is these people are just pissed at Trump.

He took out Tom Tillis.

And Tom Tillis retired rather than face a primary challenge.

But Roy Cooper is much more likely the next senator of North Carolina because he's running against an anonymous RNC chair that Trump installed as the nominee.

They took out Bill Cassidy.

He just endorsed, as we'll talk about, just endorsed against John Cornyn, the number two person in the Senate for Republicans.

And so he's basically taking out other people.

And so they're they're both pissed, like on this personal level that he keeps taking out their friends.

But they're also he's making in almost all of these cases, he's making it less likely they keep the majority.

And so I think they're starting to get restive here and are looking for some place to show that they have some measure of spine.

Now, are the restrictions they're going to put in be going to likely be pretty weak?

Yeah.

Yeah, I think that's the case.

But I would be surprised.

I would be surprised.

And no one's ever made a lot of money betting on congressional Republicans to do something brave.

But I would be surprised if this bill passed without some measure of something that at least is a putative fig leave of restriction on the slush fund.
