Without Trump, Republican lawmakers will not be terrified of offending The Base. Vance is a figure of ridicule; Johnson is a whiney little churchy-boy. Neither of them has Trump's charisma or his bluster. I think some Senators might re-grow a spine if Trump's not in office--they're terrified of him. Hard to imagine anyone quaking in their boots over threats from Vance or Johnson.
