What does take to fillibuster the welfare bill? 41 Senators

How many Republicans are voting for bill? 3 Senators

How many total votes the democrats need to stop a filibuster? 60 votes

How many votes do the democrats have? 61 votes.

It is a lost battle because we do not have the votes to fillibuster. It is that simple.

bingo. Mitch is taking the right course here. He did fight; the blame is not on Mitch. This is like someone demanding to play a tenth inning when the game ended after nine.

there is NO POINT in stopping it now, guys. game over.

I know it is shock, disbelief, bargaining, whatever those stages of grief are...but the battle is lost. Mitch is right to just move on.

Hussein will be back in a couple of weeks asking for more money: on Monday night next, he will tell the nation this trillion dollar pile of s**t isn’t enough. He will “have a plan” to spend even more.

quit blaming mitch. it is the fault of hussein and three rinos.
