This is a great bill. It got 57 votes in 2013. It should have a minimum of 58 votes this year. Trump/Pence/Cornyn only need to pick up two more votes to hit 60 to get it past a fillibuster.

The are four Democrat Senators that voted against it in 2013 coming up for election in 2018, that are running in states that Trump won in 2016. They are:

Bill Nelson, Florida Over - 1,400,000 permits

Claire McCaskill, Missouri - Over 171,000 permits

Sherrod Brown, Ohio Over - 574,000 permits

Bob Casey, Pennsylvania Over - 1,000,000 permits

All of those permit holders are voters.

Good info, thanks. Let’s see what’s more important to these dems, serving their constituents or getting reelected.
