Republicans in Senate say that "maybe" they might revolt if the President decides not to inform them how the Mexican tariffs will work.. They are still unsure if they might do it but claim they are still trying to locate their spines but so far have been unable to find them..

All about money.

If the president tells them in advance how the tariffs on Mexico will work so they can rearrange their business dealings beforehand and not be hit then they won't turn on Dear Leader

I read this earlier...
And I wondered just how much pressure the Senate leadership could take from the biz that they love so much before they cracked.

I'm going to guess that they will work this out without legislation because trump would loose his wall in emergency funding as well. BECAUSE THEY ARE LEANING TO A VETO PROOF BILL ELIMINATING THE EMERGENCY DECLARATION.
No Wall ! and No Tariff !

They don't give a shit about business. Their business is their campaign fund and what lobbying firm they will work for once out of office. The only business they care about is how much some CEO or special interest group will give them for campaign donations.

That is the 'PRESSURE' I was speaking of.
They don't care about anyone yaking in their ear.
It's about the money that talks.

edit...
if a lot of ceo's loose their bonus, so will a lot of senators !
