“And I actually think the president will sign the bill on the Keystone pipeline because I think the pressure — he’s going to be boxed in on that, and I think it’s going to happen.”

What pressure?! Obama doesn't have to sign anything. The only reason he would sign a Keystone pipeline bill would be responsible behavior. And he has not once done that.

If we do not have enough votes to override a veto, Keystone goes nowhere.

From the Democrats that don't want the same slaughter in 2016 as happened yesterday in contested races.

Obama still expects checks and perks after 2016.

I believe there are enough pro-pipeline Democrats to override a veto.

Every demonRAT senator that is up for election in 2016 in a close red/purple state, will jump up and help with the veto override.
