There are likely at least 5 votes to keep the filibuster in the GOP Senate, and possibly 10:

> Thom Tillis (R-NC)

> Mitch McConnell (R-KY)

> Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)

> John Thune (R-ND)

> John Barrasso (R-WY)

Probable votes:

> John Cornyn (R-TX)

> Kevin Cramer (R-ND)

> James Lankford (R-OK)

> Susan Collins (R-ME)

> Rand Paul (R-KY)

It's interesting that this is probably the most vocal opposition to a Trump idea that Senators have given Trump in a while.

Possibly because they know this is not something that can be overturned later on.
