This isn't news. The Republicans were only to placating the base prior to the election. They would have passed the same type of legislation, too. Just watch and see how many vote to support this, now that the election is over.
Only a small number of Republicans will support it, if any. Of course you'll conclude based on those few Republicans that the entire contingent of Congressional Republicans are supporting it.
After the vast majority of Congressional Republicans vote against it, you'll say they're just doing that to get back into power so they can then support it. It's obviously pointless for a Republican candidate to seek the support of someone like you.
