That is not the point, it still takes 60 to get a vote to vote ( cloture ) for all new important legislation, unless McConnell and or his replacement have the cohones to change cloture.... The shananigan's Reid pulled was attaching Obamacare to another bill, so it can be repealed with 51.
Cloture is simply a 'gentlemen's agreement' that neither Party wanted to mess with since it could come back to bite them when they are in the minority.
Reid changed the rules to allow majority votes that didn't need cloture to stop Republicans from blocking the votes.
We can do the same now.
