(6,034 posts)... we need 41 votes to sustain. We also have to defend Dems in very red states.
Let a few of them vote yes to give them cover and still have enough to filibuster

(5,506 posts)He is the most Republican Democrat in Washington. Is he another infiltrator to our party? I fully expect him to flip to the dark side officially any day now.

(5,272 posts)It undercuts our progressive message, waters down our legislation even when we have the power to craft it, and only makes our resistance of Republican policy ineffective, and dare I say it, even at times, appear disingenuous. We need to get the fuck rid of him.

(11,119 posts)I hate them! My red-state Dem is Sen Claire "Both sides do it" McCaskill and she's stated that she wants to avoid MAKING the republicans use the nuclear option. I also think she believes she can win a few republican votes for next year's election. But she doesn't realize that if she votes for Gorsuch, she'll lose Dem votes!
