“I’m hoping now we’ll actually start looking at reality,” said Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.). “I know everybody wants to go to Disney World, but we just can’t afford it.”
Johnson batted down the idea that he would fold under arm-twisting from Trump — much as his House counterparts did. “Listen, in the House, President Trump can threaten to primary [holdouts], and those guys want to keep their seats. I understand the pressure. Can’t pressure me that way.”

Johnson will probably cave like Roy and leave it to Rand Paul to be the Senate's Massie and actually vote against the big deficit blowout he claims to hate.
Looks like the big spenders will win in the Senate since Johnson and Paul are just 2 votes, while Hawley, Murkowski and Collins are 3 votes. And most importantly, Trump has the back of the big spenders.
