Keeping the 50+1 to pass nominees while O’bastard is POTUS screws conservatives!

The RATS might be able to 5 RINOs to vote with them to get 51, they would have a hard time getting 60.

If we control the Senate and have a Republican POTUS after 2016, THEN we change it back to 51.

This guy hasn’t thought this one through.

I agree. There is a good reason why you want to restore that rule. It actually helps conservative members in the long run. They should be smart and pass some sort of bill or rule that prevents Reid or others from pulling the same stunt in the future. I would assign Ted Cruz to figure out the best way forward to creating that rule. Just my thoughts.

I agree, this works to conservative's advantage.
You could also use the "restoring fairness" mantra for the LIV's

They only need four because Biden breaks a tie.
