Actually, the fact is that we need to have 60 GOP Senators to get everything we want.

Without that number, we have to accept the reality of not getting everything we want.

Yeah, too bad there are only about 48 REAL Republicans there now. You have to overcome not only the 60-vote fillibuster line, but the "Rino" factor on top of it (the McCains, etc.).

Sure. We've seen what the GOP can do with a majority. Just think what they could do with 60.

The Republicans could hold 90 seats in the Senate, and they would still allow the Democrats to control the agenda.
