Y’all wackos are entirely free to submit legislation text right here that can get 60 votes in the Senate. Knock yourselves out.

You don’t have the seats. What do you not get about that. Reid had 60 seats in 2009. We have 52 in 2017. Why is this mathematically complex for you? 52 is not 60.

You want to eliminate filibuster? You can’t get 60 for that either. You can’t even get 50 for that.

You do as much as you can do, or you betray the populist voters in the Rust Belt that put Trump in the White House. Time to support the president.

Oh, and btw, Obamacare will not crash and burn on its own. The Federal Reserve creates money from thin air. That’s its charter. It can fund Obamacare as long as Congress keeps it in place.

Which it will without 60 votes.

You do all you can do or you do nothing, and essentially tell the world you’re happy with it. No one will applaud nothingness.

You raise a good point.

Too many people screaming goofy things like Trump needs to just “arrest” XY or Z Democrat or other gimmicks, doesn’t erase the numbers.
