No, I have no faith that the GOP members of congress will stand up to Trump in any meaningful way other than to voice "concern" and "dislike what he said".

Except Trump's efforts in implementing a healthcare system has already been shut down by cross-party voters. If he chooses someone truly terrible or unqualified (I am not talking "my party doesn't like him, so he's terrible") then there will be people who cross the party line and refuse to confirm him.

It literally only takes 2 people to stop it.

You know, kind of like a surplus of checks and balances. It doesn't matter what McConnell says if 2 out of 51 people disagree.
