Rubio is a complete dufus.
It only needs 50 votes because McConnell (the turncoat) has indicated he is not going to force Cloture. The only way we can force 60 votes is for several of the Senators (Cruz, Paul) to take the floor and refuse to relinquish it until there is a cloture vote.
We need to get Senators to stand up for American and not to bow to Mexico. At last count there were 2 of them.

The bill will pass the Senate. I don’t doubt McConnell has stabbed us in the back and they already have a deal to pass it.
I think this withdrawing support of the bill right now is a little bit of an FU to Reid from McConnell. McConnell wants to force all the vulnerable Dems to vote for the bill. Reid wants to get as many GOP votes as he can so can release some of the Dems up for reelection.
It’s totally meaningless as far as passage because what matters is the final bill.
