Only republicans on the other side that could be convinced are Murkowski and big maybe Romney. Everyone else either retired, died, got primaried from the right, or drank the Trump brand kool-aid.

Hatch was the worst. That old fucker originally co-sponsored the Dream Act and then voted NO on it in 2010. I still remember that. I was fuming when I saw him vote No. McCain is who we miss dearly but hopefully Graham can pick up the slack and lead.
The thing is, there is no other option. I don't think so at least. There is literally no way anything can pass if all Democrats vote in the affirmative. Don't we need 60 votes in the Senate.
