I saw that idea floated somewhere, and the conclusion was that the bill in total would require breaking up into a number of separate bills that could not be horse traded as successfully. Yes? No?

I believe in theory you are correct because the nuke option can only be used for financial bills. Therefor all the non-financial policy stuff would need to be stripped out into separate bill or bills.

BUT Harry Reid has not followed any rules so far, so I am sure he wouldn't let anything like a little ole rule get in his way of delivering this MONUMENT TO THE MAN-CHILD on Christmas eve.
