I imagine both Murkowski and Collins are being flooded by the base to vote yes.
Likely, yeah. At this point, they're still weighing the electoral impact, I think. Their votes will not matter, unless something disqualifying comes up in the hearing (which I doubt, since they're probably not going to be so thorough).
With the other two secured; their votes don’t matter. It will not stop the trump followers from calling them and “suggesting” they vote for the candidate. It also gives them a chance to say “see I didn’t support this” if the base against Trump is larger or close to as large as the trump followers.
