I forgot to say the problem may not be 60 votes but trying to get 50 Republicans to vote yes.

Sounds great in theory. I wonder what the genesis of the whole idea of granting the VP such power was? There must have been a reason..

Nice!

This is EXACTLY the kind of convoluted DC crap the Dems have been pulling for decades, it’s about time our side start fighting using the same rules.

I’m just going to say thank you very much, Ted, I hope you can help us out.

Far as convincing the GOP leadership, I don’t think the GOP has any leadership, the party is trash, it serves no purpose or function other than to mind the store while democrats are in disfavor just long enough to piss off the electorate enough to put democrats back in power.

The democrats are vampires, and the GOP is their human familiars who TCOB when the sun is up.

I think this is a re-hash of when Cruz brought it up ten days ago.

“Sounds great in theory.”

Yep, Cruz always sounds great in theory. But when it comes to making it happen...

Who put the Parlimentarian in place? Why is that not an elected position? One unelected retard runs the country?

All they have to do is not go wobbly and stick together.

That is our greatest obstacle to success. It has been for years and I don't count on Ryan growing a spine any time soon. But given the choice of standing with Cruz or Ryan, Cruz wins easily. And I say that as a Wisconsinite.

And that is why the rinos hate him, because he epxects them to do the damned job they were hired by Americans to do- that pisses them off that someone would dare attempt to hold them accountable

Mitch could also dismiss the Parliamentarian and appoint a Republican - it’s within the rules - the current guy was appointed by Dingy Harry but Mitch just doesnt have it in him.

Graham, McCain, Collins won’t be on “our” side. There goes the Bill. They won’t vote to defund Planned Parenthood.
