Two Senators and the Mob

I'm seeing a fair number of posts and tweets from people who are saying that just two Republican Senators breaking with the party line would be enough, just two.

Is that like Lindsay Graham, who went golfing with Trump and turned into a Trumpite?

This isn't normal politics. Likely enough threats of violence have been made against Republican Senators. Trump has mob connections. Putin has ordered assassinations outside of Russia. We can no longer assume that these things are beyond possibility: that direct threats against politicians and their families have not been made.
