Romney will be loud supporting Trump if things are going well ... and taking credit for it too. Romney will be extremely loud knifing Trump in the back if *anything* goes less than optimally. That meme with Mitt as a used car salesman sums him up perfectly. He makes John Frigging Kerry (did you know he served in Vietnam) jealous with his flip-flopping skills.
Collins would be silenced though ... once it’s clear that McCain is truly gone and a decent margin exists on the R side, she’ll behave more like a quiet version of Lindsey Graham (who seems to be more for Trump than against him, but he also faces reelection in 2020 IIRC).
The Dino’s would then change parties
