Whatever they were doing that just failed was under reconciliation which requires only a majority.
The are saying that simple repeal can’t be done under reconciliation.
And they said they don't have the votes to pass the gop reconciliation bill. Do you honestly like the reconciliation bill (which BTW could get much worse in the reconciliation process)? Yes, it may be possible to get 51 votes some day. Would that be a good thing or a bad thing?
