I wonder if the $50 million PAC to support Rs who vote to convict will sway any of them as well https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/12/anti-trump-group-gop-i

  I checked and it looks like I a senate race usually costs about 10m per candidate [1]. So 50m is a substantial offer. I guess the trick here is collusion: I wouldn't want to be the only one who went out on a limb, and now no one else will take my calls and 101 crazy trumpers are going to run against me in the primary. If there were 20+ willing to do it, maybe they could collectively weather the storm? Thanks for the link, I didn't know Republicans against Trump were this well funded.
