We will have the votes for Healthcare but not for the reconciliation deadline of Friday, after which we need 60. Get rid of Filibuster Rule!

(18,837 posts)It's pathetic...they can't hit the number for a "reconciliation" vote, but after that window of opportunity passes, they WILL have the required number of "regular" votes, because...um, well...MAGA!
The same courage, determination and integrity that guarantees a big, beautiful, transparent, solar-powered wall that Mexico will pay for is GUARANTEED to deliver TrumpCare.
Just not by Friday.

(8,979 posts)If a simple majority with no allowance for filibuster would be deemed acceptable for passage of Senate legislation, then the same rationale should be applied to the popular vote for president. Get rid of the electoral college, once and for all.

Maybe they have told him, and perhaps this is just a typical Trump tease/face-saving.
