Like, that happens with all of Trump's scandals. He'll do something mind bogglingly stupid or racist. It'll seemingly be the end of him. The spin machine does its work. He survives yet again.
The only time you could have successfully whipped votes for impeachment was on the night of January 6th

Genuinely, I think the biggest political blunder of the past few decades was letting people go home on the night of Jan 6 without impeachment articles drawn up and voted on right then and there. Instead, they gave Trump and Fox News the time to spin it to the public as no big deal

Thing is, the GOP got exactly the number of votes needed to end the shutdown, none of the caving members are up for reelection until '28, and the minority whip was one of the defectors
It suggests there being much broader support for the vote, they just picked the safest senators to absorb the heat

Also one of the votes to end the shutdown was Dick Durbin, who is literally the whip. It is his job to keep the caucus in line, and he joined the defectors!

I think the reasoning behind putting stock behind the gambling odds is that they have a singular mission of being accurate so that they can make money.
Like, there's not a ton of room for bias there.

Yeah, she was fantastic at keeping the caucus unquestioningly whipped.
Then there's Schumer, by contrast, who allows key defections on every single piece of flagship legislation that comes across his desk
