And about that 60 votes in the Senate. Why not use the nuclear option that the Democrats did, and kill the filibuster rule. Then rule with 50 votes. If the dems can do it why can’t we?
Tactics like this are what we are looking for.

The issue with that is that it’s too general.

Even the Democrats were smart enough to limit the nuclear option to presidential nominees, so it couldn’t be turned against them in other ways.

A better option would be to sneak a budgetary item or two into a bill, then pass it using Reconciliation. Just like the Dems did with Obamacare.
