I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they pass this shit next week and McTurtle schedules a vote in the Senate. It's like the tax bill all over again. :roll:


I wouldn't be surprised either. Still unlikely to get the 60 votes in the Senate.

Such a massive blunder on an important issue like this.

I lol'ed at this.

Does anyone know the math on the vulnerable Dems? I saw another user say they would have enough votes if they voted with them.

There are 10 red state Dems in the senate (defining this as Democratic senators from states carried by Trump in the general election.). Of those 10, I think 3 (Manchin-WV, Heitkamp-ND, Tester-MT) will definitely have pressure from a Republican candidate during midterms. At most 5 will be in heavily contested races. That’s why I would disagree with the overall likeliness of getting cloture. However, if you’re assume they have all the red state Dems, then sure. But you could say that for the HoR and any other Rep caucus.

51 Republicans + these 9 = 60 = bill passes

And that fat asshole that won in Alabama.. Doug Jones? I think he’ll vote with republicans on this.

You missed Debbie Stabenow, although MI was super close.

He’s not up for re-election this year, but yeah I don’t know how strong he’ll hold the line. Just because he’s from a red state doesn’t mean he votes with GOP every time.
