With only a very small majority, the Republicans in the House & Senate need more victories next year since Dems totally obstruct, no votes!

The Senate must go to a 51 vote majority instead of current 60 votes. Even parts of full Repeal need 60. 8 Dems control Senate. Crazy!

It's like that "One does not simply..." meme.
No one simply "fixes" Washington, especially a clueless carnival barker.

(1,129 posts)To call for a vote on a more extreme bill version that will require the standard 60 Ayes to pass...
Just so *45 can
divert attention away from 4 KGOP controlling a senate outcome which *45 does not favor
to create a situation where votes of DEM Minority can actually have value {beyond symbolic}
Only for the purpose of shifting BLAME from
4 KGOP to 8 DEMS
to set up the push for a BLANKET RULE CHANGE lowering the AYES requirement to 51 for ALL Senate bills/votes...
