“There will be another cloture vote to end debate - that vote will be the critical one where we need to convince Lieberman, or one other democrat to vote no.”
Forget it. Don’t try to explain the process. The FR surrender monkeys are in little girl, arm-flapping panic mode and not willing to listen to reason.
Thanks for trying.
