Here's the deal. If the "nuclear option" was put to a vote now, most of the RINO's would have voted AGAINST ending the judicial filibuster. WITH the deal, if the Democrats break their word (and this could be likely) then most of the RINOs (including McCain) will vote FOR ending the judicial filibuster.
Here's the deal. If they had voted against at least half of these people come from true red states. they would have been finished in their re-elections. they don't WANT to vote. Even if it failed, we would WIN because they would be through with that vote.
Don't spin this to me as a good thing.
