Maybe so. But ‘Republicans’ cannot be trusted at all. Since they (almost to a man) stabbed Trump in the back, all bets are off where they are concerned. They now feel themselves free to take any course they want.

Trump is and will always be the wild card. He looked around and saw that US politics seemed to be a game that anyone could play. (”O’bozo” is living proof of that) So he ran for President himself rather than become a pawn to men he couldn't respect. He succeeded in that twice and will again!

Consider the difference, though -- Romney will still be the bug-eyed RINO TDS messenger boy on the MSM, that is face time that won't be occupied by a sitting Senator.

That permits Trump and his Senate group to say to holdouts, "Well, he's out of power, and you're not, but you're also not getting on tv to piss and moan, because Bishop Dullard is booked. You see him sitting in this Chamber anywhere? You do not want to be excluded from this legislation, because we are driving the Narrative for the next 4 years."

That could be anything from Trump's SCOTUS pick to replace Thomas, to a treaty with NK, to a repatriation bill for the migras, to consolidating Cabinets.
