I was supposed to go back to bed with a headache but I get so riled by the first few FR articles that I get wound up lol.
not sure what cloture is to my shame.
I know Walker seems like a very good candidate too. But he does not have the national state a senator does and so I hear Cruz talk and I get very excited. Plus Walker doesn’t have the IT factor to me. I could be wrong.
In the Senate rules debate is closed with a cloture vote which requires 60 votes to move the nomination or bill to the floor.
The Democrats in R jerseys have made a game of voting with the real Democrats to overcome the 60 vote margin and then just enough of the Democrats in R jerseys vote with the real Democrats to pass whatever it is, in this case the nomination for Attorney General.
That way they can say they voted no on Lynch or Cromnibus or DHS amnesty funding when they really facilitated the passage.
Cruz definitely has IT.
