    I think the majority of them don’t want this to get to a vote. They’re in a shitty situation where they have to convince moderate and independent voters that they’re not extremists or super far right – but they also need to satisfy their extremist base or they’re getting primaried out as a RINO in the swamp. Republican leadership keeps trying to carefully thread that needle, and the extremist wing constantly gets in their way of doing so.
