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.

Thanks for the explanation. But still not sure how they get to say they voted the right way at one point. Thanks for your patience.
CRUZ ROCKS and has IT. Walker just doesn’t in my opinion but I’d vote for him
