I think we could see some cooperation, especially if we have a 50-50 split. We might get some Senators to break away from Mitch, especially if it looks like Trump supporters are going to sabotage the party.

At that point it will be Republicans who want to embrace the Trump wing of the party vs. those who want nothing to do with him.

But if Georgia doesn't break our way, Mitch will be majority leader and unless Republicans can challenge his leadership, he won't let much of anything come to a vote.
