>>I would like to sit down with McConnell and try to understand his calculus. <<
Here’s his calculus. As long as he sticks with the filibuster, he’s the most powerful person in DC. He can absolutely ignore the priorities of every other Republican Senator, the House GOP, and even the President himself, just by claiming it won’t pass because it won’t get 60 votes.
And if he likes something, he can trade with some Dems and get it.
Got it? It’s not that hard to see.
What I don’t understand is why so many conservatives don’t understand that simple fact and unite to put enough pressure on him to get him to yield. Even with the President calling for him to do it all we get is crickets.
And don’t anybody bother giving me the b.s. excuse that it will come back to bite us. Schumer will take that bite as soon as it’s to his advantage, regardless what McConnell does.

Of course, the U.S. Senate could simply get rid of the
two-track rule, so that Chuck Schoooooooooomer would have to recite Beatles songs for hours on the Senate floor to stop GOP legislation from passing.

Doubling down on your stupidity or just plain a lack of creative intellect, so you repeat your weakass put down?
If you really believed anything substantively, you would have defended your case with something meaningful.
Now it’s impossible to take you seriously.

I don't know why Trump keeps complaining about this stupid filibuster rule. Forget about 60 votes. The Republican Party can't even get 50 votes to deliver on anything of substance related to Trump's agenda.

The Congress is laughing at Trump. You think they are going to listen to a word he has to say?

Trump has no one to blame but himself for this travesty. He could have used his veto power as leverage with Congress to help craft the bill more to his liking. Instead he let Congress have free reign to write whatever bill they wanted, and this is the result.They had enough votes to override a veto - the Dems and RINOs were trying to set him up and hoping he would veto it so they could work together to try to finish him off - they were very slick...if he vetoed it, they could howl about how he abandoned the military and lots of other interests and if he signed it, a lot of his base would be so incensed they wouldn't think long enough to realize who the real problems are....looks like the Dems and RINOs are winning because lots of Trump folks aren't able to conceive that conceding a battle may help win the war - Trump threw the gauntlet down at the Presser yesterday.

I suspect McTurtle will nuke the filibuster rule later in the year, just in time for the incoming Communist Party majority, so the Rupukes do not even have to participate after the election. They can just sit with their snouts in the K Street trough with no distractions.

Do they need 51 votes to change Senate rules? Yes. They don't have them.
