of course, Jeff Flake voted no, not because he opposes a wall, or has any particular concern about spending, but because he really really hates Donald Trump.
And unfortunately he apparently didn’t see the need to leave the capital, so he is here to vote.
But if we get all the other republicans, we’ll have 50 votes, which would win passage with the VP breaking a tie; being a filibuster vote, there is no “tie” to break.
Mitch the Bitch knows come January, the 60 vote requirement will bury Rat bills coming in from the House.
Chuck U doesn’t have the 60 votes needed to end debate. Whether its its s boat anchor depends on which side you look at it.
Democrats are in no great hurry to get rid of the 60 vote threshold until it bites them in their keisters.
Jeff Flake and others soon to leave office will vote according to whomever secured them a job/position AFTER leaving Washington.
