60 votes is necessary to pass with a FILIBUSTER-PROOF margin.
51 is all that is required to PASS THE BUDGET.
So, McConnell, GET IT PASSED.
If the Democrats want to shut down government, then MAKE THEM FILIBUSTER ON THE FLOOR LIKE WE USED TO.
I, for one, will tune in to hear about why they decided to shut it down, 24/7 until they run out of Senators.
They are going to let these three bought and paid for stooges destroy their party, get their party utterly destroyed in the next election and their country destroyed. The Chamber of Crony Commerce is demanding action, after all they paid good money for these traitors to betray...
Doesn’t need the nuke option, and we don’t want to use it.
We just need to record the votes and see who is for shutting it down, and who is not.
It’s simple.
Dems can go ahead and vote for cloture at this point and vote or the bill because the R’s only have 47 votes.
Yet that is exactly what he did to break the filibuster on the Gorsuch confirmation. See post #58.
No Dream Act, never has been, no Dreamers.
Sucks to be them. Tootles pipski.
How dare Democrats put the country at risk for a bunch of illegals? It’s treason.
