No, they are not dumb.

You assume the have the same goals and fears we do.

They do not. Many of them fear the Media much more than they fear their voters. They know the Media has a very strong ability to sway voters.

A number of Republicans who are either moderates or who place special value on Senate traditions have been unwilling to take this step. But the mood has changed as those senators have witnessed the problem continuing to worsen, as Democrats have spurned entreaties by these Republicans’ to meet them partway.

The way the Democrats have been applying the rules is no longer in keeping with any "traditions" - it has been total and complete obstruction for the sake of doing so. Acting in good faith was gone long ago.

The votes didn’t exist for it then with 51 seats. 53 may be a different story...fewer turn coats and more getting agitated with abuse of the rules not in keeping with the spirit of why they were set as rules to begin with.

Should be past tense, not future tense! It’s probably what is called “a trial balloon.”

They’ll get it done. They just have to get 60 votes to do it.

Read the article. They only need 51 to reinterpret the rules.

They will fold just like the spineless dick heads they are. The GOP is a bunch of lying spineless imbeciles.

Not Dumb, Complicit. It is a mistake to presume that the GOP is any more honest than the democrats, they all leave office rich and that should be obvious.

No, you haven’t. This is new. What you have heard is that the Senate will be in session 24/7 to force these nominations to a vote. They have done some of that, but for certain ones only.
