OK, so you've got McCain. There's one loss. Graham, another, McConnell, Collins...
With these useless Republicans alone, you're down to 47, and I can keep going if you like.
They’re not useless - the only way they could be useless is if they caucus with the democrats. By the way all voted against Obamacare when the question was should it pass or fail. Once you get 51, no matter how they individually vote, day to day, bill to bill, Reid can’t shut down conservative amendments on money bills or stop conservative bills from originating in the senate. 51 is Key!
