While interesting, does anyone here really think the Pubbies have the guts to do this? Certain members will fold like KMart suits when the media starts pressuring not to “break tradition” and use this option.
Chris is copping out
Even with a lower threshold for approval, there’s plenty of opportunity for disappointment when we have to deal with RINOs and malcontents like Hatch, Collins, McCain, Graham, McConnel, Corker, et al.
We’d have to have 70 R senators before I’d be confident that there were enough votes to ram through any reasonably tough conservative policy or candidate without fear of squishy R turncoats screwing thibgs up...
Just wait until the 2018 midterms, when 23 dems and 2 so-called “independents” who caucus with the dems are up for re-election, many of them in red states.
Only 8 GOP senators are up in 2018.
The dems think they have problems now.....

The good news?
Congress is seated and convened prior to the POTUS inauguration.
‘Tis but a thought we should all understand.
Stakes meet hearts (black hearts). Bwaaaaahahahaha.
There is a chance perhaps of 6 or 8 more Republicans in two years, but it is likely that they would be “moderates.” The 52 you have now include enough Rinos to stall the agenda.
Or, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander!
51 after you deduct Reids, Monica, susie collins.
My prediction: No. Republicans will not hold the Senate after 2018.
We’re a 50/50 nation as just seen by the popular vote for President. And the Senate is nearly 50/50 as well.
2016: 54/46 and for
2017: 52/48. (D side including two independents)
The collective subconscious of the American voter is that too much control by one party leads to extremes, and that gridlock is good.
I’m not at all comfortable with the presumption that the 52 Republicans will vote in solidarity.
... Graham? Collins? McCain?
Strike up the world’s tiniest violin...
What makes anyone think McConnell will keep the rule? The RINOs are feckless, and want to help the Dems stop Trump. Watch for Graham and McCain to call for the Senate to “restore fairness to the body” and reverse the rule.
Snow, Collins, Flake, Sasse, McCain and his little friend Graham, all the fence-sitting cucks may think they’re ready, but they aren’t ready for Trump.
If they don’t get on board, they’re going to get run over.
Get the 17th repealed? If it can be done, Trump can get it done.
The GOP-e isn’t out of the woods yet. No, not by a long shot.
I guess this is one of those rare occasions when the rules don’t automatically change when a Republican gets back into office.
Not unless the Repubs hold them to a “TRUE FILLIBUSTER”.
Not just fold when a dem says they’re gonna. I mean how long can someone talk constantly? Even if its a week, make them do it!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s time for these LOSERS to stand up!!!!!!!!! They’ve been given a lease on life, they better not screw it up!!!!
Think Judge Bork and the late idiot Arlen Spector.
Schumer the Sleaze, claims he privately lobbied against ending the filibuster, while he not only voted for it [Roll Call] but he was Reid's chief saleman publicly - including in the Senate (below photo) - for it! 
Sleazy Schumer replacing Dirty Harry (as as Democrat Senate leader) will be an act to remember.
Coons needs to get used to losing.
