You undoubtedly also had a glimmer of hope that withholding support from clinton on account of sanders would not have led to trump in the whitehouse.
The republicans would under absolutely no circumstances do anything to meaningfully censure trump or his family precisely because they live in terror of the possibility that trump might retaliate by not selecting the right neanderthals for the next Supreme Court opening.

Cynical me says Trump will sign the bill then do something behind the scenes with Vlady to ensure Russia's oligarchs don't feel the full effects of the sanctions.

So long as the republicans feel trump can be counted on to deliver 2 more Supreme Court seats the republicans wouldn't care if it is certain knowledge that trump intends to offer unconditional surrender to Moscow on the day after.
