“The Republicans need to understand, this is WAR! No Prisoners, start working on getting 6 Democrats to JUMP SHIP to the Republican side of the Senate. Ask your self, what would Frank Underwood do?
60 votes in the Senate, and we can tell the POTUS to sit down and shut up!

I hope the Repubs get mad and walk out on POTUS today. “

Does the cloture rule change by the dems last year lower that to 51 votes now ?

No, from what I understand the Senate under Republican Leadershipt will revert back to old rules of the Senate.

Republicans are TOO NICE!

Sorry, but to override a presidential veto, it takes 2/3 of both the House and Senate. So we need 67 senators not 60.

The last vote of the exiting Democrat Senate will be to change the cloture threshold back to 60.
