Because he already lost the trumpanzee vote by voting to remove 45. Twice.

The only way he can stay relevant if he brings home the bacon to his home state. And the only way he can do that is to allow Democrats to have free hand to pass sweeping legislation.

Intraparty obstructionism only loses seats.
