Good ol’ Orrin got one part of his comment accurate…he just doesn’t understand what makes it accurate:
“…it would be the end of the Republican Party. And it would be the end of the Senate.”
Late breaking news, Orrin: THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS AT AN END WITH THE LIKES OF YOU CONTROLLING ITS DESTINY. A good number of those 60 million or so Americans who voted for Trump already have utter contempt for the party and for the senators and for the Senate itself.
Orrin and his fellows are without honor and can be trusted for nothing.
