“Yes, it only takes 8 or 9 Senate dems to stop this from hapenning.”

If you count Sanders and Lieberman (independents) the dems have 59 seats in the senate. If 5 defect they lose. Assuming all Republicans vote against it there should be at least 5 conservative Dems that will vote against it.

Huh? If 5 defect, they still win by a vote of 54-46.
