Well, it swayed at least enough Republicans to pass the resolution had Mitch not outright blocked it. Like I said, the two Georgians would have voted for it if it came to the floor (or else they definitely would have been voted out, rather than probably) and Hawley would have voted for it as well. That would have made the difference. But my point is that Trump supporters don't support Trump because he has policies that they like. They like policies that he comes up with because they support Trump. It's the exact opposite to Leftwing populism, which leads voters to the personalities via policy.
