Perhaps Nate wasn't opining, but simply ran a quick poll...?

choice quotes from WaPo's article about Mitch's little get together luncheon:

FIREWORKS inside today's Senate GOP luncheon.

“This is your fault,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) told Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).

“Are you suggesting I’m enjoying this?” McConnell snapped back.

Johnson v. McConnell.

Tillis v. Romney.

And senators venting frustration to Pence.

A lunch to remember on day 34 of the shutdown today in the Capitol. https://t.co/SuGZ1VVjOI

RonJohn blamed McConnell. McConnell glared at RonJohn. Mitt & Tillis snapped at one another.
And lotsa Rs told Pence to tell Trump time was short, including McConnell.

Nate Silver doesn't usually opine like this on political actors (maybe football, I dunno, I don't read that stuff), but with rocket scientists Kushner and Pence, he couldn't resist:

Who could have predicted that Jared Kushner's plan wouldn't work, except literally everybody who isn't Jared Kushner or Mike Pence. https://t.co/tD2QCMpiaC pic.twitter.com/XkF5rJF4pN

In reply to Never forget:

At this moment, GOP's "Butt-hurt Fox" appears to be having his ass sawed off in public and served to him on the good china by a Democratic party united behind a woman who controls one half of one branch of the federal government. . Nancy Pelosi read your book there, Mitch. Driftglass

Edit to add: to clarify what I think is his point: one can't win an election with the 34% that still find the president "effective". If they were spinning their bill like they were smartly working around an ineffective president, that might work, but politically, they are just being idjits to say this.

Apparently, the clean 'no Wall money' Bill to open the government until 2/8 will be voted down by Senate Republicans:

With most Republicans united behind Mr. Trump’s insistence that any legislation to reopen the government include money for a border wall and most Democrats opposed to the linkage, neither measure is expected to draw the 60 votes required to advance.

CATO will be around long after Trump - they can't afford to simply & blatantly sell their souls & respectability, even if they often shill for the other side. Part of their success is an aura of being serious.
