Trump had a reliable 45+ votes for the worst people during his first term. It was Murkowski and Collins in particular that McConnell had to first check with before Trump nominated some of these people to positions.

Just think after this cycle we are likely to have a Republican Senate that would contain zero members (outside of Murkowski & Collins) willing to impeach after January 6th. If you are confident that they will somehow block Jim Jordan as Attorney General, then I share none of that confidence. There is a big difference between getting to 51 and getting to 52.
