This is on the gop. Change the rules to 50 votes in the senate.
The wall funding will pass anything else is just fingerpointing

IMO the Senate cloture rules are unconstitutional.

“Change the rules to 50 votes in the senate.”

No way. That would be downright uncollegial. It’s not like the fate of the country is on the line.../morons

The GOP won’t admit this, but they keep the Senate vote for cloture at 60 votes on an issue like this to hide the fact that they don’t even have 50 votes votes to pass it. They wouldn’t have 50 votes even if there were 100 Republicans in the Senate.
