We aren’t going to get 60, but since Reid changed the rules to pass Obamacare, going to simple majority vote, we can do likewise to end it.

That is not the point, it still takes 60 to get a vote to vote ( cloture ) for all new important legislation, unless McConnell and or his replacement have the cohones to change cloture.... The shananigan's Reid pulled was attaching Obamacare to another bill, so it can be repealed with 51.
