If someone calls you names, the proper response is not to call them names. Clarify your position. Argue it using different words. Your insistence that people answer your "51 Senators" question does not help your case. It means you are unwilling to look at alternatives (e.g. a strong conservative minority caucus).

If you truly believe that 51 votes fixes everything, why did that not work in the Clinton and GW Bush eras?

Because we never faced hard hitting Marxists like Pelosi,Reid,Axlelrod,Jarrett and Obama before. This is not the time for ideological litmus tests. This is ti.e to cobble up an army that can win. You fight with the army you have.
