I don't think they will because right now Trump's power is too new---
The Senators have built-in alliances they have relied on for past 8 yrs against any Democratic measures
They really don't know Trump---
Their rush to judgement in allowing these superficial reviews and less than credible background checks (Mnuchin's for example) don't give them strong grounds to resist...
IF they had pressured McConnell--the GOP had gone along with the Dems--to slow down and allow for more investigation then they would have FACTS to base their reservations on...
But putting lipstick on this pig herd Trump has presented just means they don't have any gravitas for a vote against...
They will **** off their leadership, Trump's minions, and likely their own voters---because they have become complicit in "normalizing" this disease of ignorance and self-interest...
not that the people in the Senate in both parties haven't always had their self-interest as prime component of any decisions they make...
Rubio made a big pretense of talking bold against Tillerson and we know he talked big against Trump--
But I bet even he kisses the ring and bides his time...
Of course NOW is the time to make a stance so that he can escape the problem that so many Dems had after the fact of voting for the War in Iraq's initially...
There are so many reasons that voting NO now makes political and personal sense---but you have to be brave enough to take that chance and we all know Rubio is really a coward...
As are most of the GOP Senators and Congress reps...
And yes--most Dems didn't speak out against some of the more egregious Obama decisions--but many did...
This is just not going to end well for the GOP--or the American people
Trump supporters are really going to have to own these decisions these Trump choices make--
And I don't think they are going to be happy doing that as things fall apart...
Neil Gorsuch New Frontrunner for Supreme Court Vacancy
Judge Neil Gorsuch of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals may be the leading candidate for President Donald Trump’s first appointment to the Supreme Court.
Jan Crawford of CBS News, a veteran court-watcher, reports Trump may be close to settling on Gorsuch. At 49, he could conceivably serve on the Court for over 30 years if he is confirmed by the Senate.

IMO, I think there are for the most part pretty good. The issue is whether The Don, will stand behind them firmly or will hinder them? I'm betting on hinderance.

I'm betting he'll let them do whatever they do until people become alarmed.
News just out--Rubio will vote to confirm Tillerson...
Wimped out...
Rubio was always going to vote YES for Tillerson, just as McCain & Graham were.
They all wanted (and got) a lot of TV Face Time and publicity for their "doubt".
McCain and Graham just have better timing (and experience in Kabuki Theater) that Rubio.
He end up as the last man "out" ..... when he was always going to be "in".
Only two passed by swearing in day. Democrats win the record for the biggest obstruction of all American history.
