The simple truth is the Republicans need to remove the 60 vote minimum in the Senate and go to majority rules. Yes I am fully aware of the nuances of the filibuster and the fact that at some point the dems with hold a majority again. You can bank on the next time the dems do they remove the 60 rule anyway. Stop trying to “be the move guy’s” we are in a war and it for all the marbles now.
Sad part is most of the useless gop just want to be in the door as well so they play the loyal opposition party and the gravy train chugs on.

The Dems have literally PROMISED to do away with the filibuster in AT LEAST the past 4 federal elections...so why shouldn’t we beat them to punch?
Keep in mind that the 60-vote isn’t designed to give some leverage to the minority party. It’s designed to give the majority party an excuse for failing to pass legislation that is popular among their constituents but opposed by their financial backers.
Or just leave the government closed. It hurts them more than us.
