Yes, but four or five Dems voted with the Repubs.

They will not do so on the nuke option. Will not be released

[Ann Archy]

Yeah...the 4 or 5 Dem Senators that are running next year in red states!!

[adorno]

Yes, but four or five Dems voted with the Repubs.

They probably knew about the 4 republican no votes, so to those 4 dems, it was irrelevant and inconsequential to vote with the republicans. If the republicans had all indicated yes on the budget, there might not have been any democrats voting for it.

“Yes, but four or five Dems voted with the Repubs.”

Meaningless show votes for Nov. Elections. Schumer told them to vote Yes as there was zero chance to get to 60. If the threshold is 51 votes no way they vote Yes unless once again Schumer tells them to. If the shut down lands squarely on the Rats back Schumer could look for a way out then all bets are off.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Yes, but four or five Dems voted with the Repubs.

Unfortunately, four or five pubbies voted with the dems!

[Repeal 16-17]

Yes, but four or five Dems voted with the Repubs.

This is why McTurtle needs to go nuclear. I think he's playing Schmuckie Chuckie. McTurtle should invoke the Nuclear Option by the end of the week if he is sure those four or five Democrats would vote for it.

"Yes, but four or five Dems voted with the Repubs."

They were given permission to vote for cloture, knowing their votes meant nothing. If their votes would have resulted in cloture, they would have voted NO, as directed by Schumer.

“Yes, but four or five Dems voted with the Repubs.”

Good point.

Question is would they do it in this scenario?
