Most of the American people do not care & they're not paying attention to any of this. The deal makers are counting on it. They do not care what the "old" base wants, because they know that most of the base is against them anyway. They are trying to make a new base out of the uninformed middle.
I don't know that I agree with that assessment. If the donks filibuster I would expect and demand that frist do the adult thing and force the vote. Flush the moderates into the open. Take care of the qustion once and for all. It would be the last thing any of them expect. And as I mentioned, the language frist uses can take care of the judicial stuff and the Moderates "deal" in one blow.
There is no downside to this, except to p-off the MSM and donks, which is gonna happen anyway...
