Time to go full nuclear.

They would never get the 51 votes needed. I can easily think of half a dozen Republicans who would vote against repealing the filibuster.

Okay, then make them actually filibuster, instead of the “virtual” filibuster that is in effect now.

Why don’t you list them so that I would be able to easily think of a half dozen Republicans who’d lose their primaries the next time they’re up for election.

We can stand to lose two, assuming Pence gets to cast a tie vote. And it would be nice if those two were up in 2018.
