Narrative armor will protect her because unless something drastic happens with respect to exposure of known election fraud between now and when the vote is held, they aren't going to get 60 votes in the clear.

Are you saying this still won’t make it to Trump for signature?

How are they getting it passed? No way to get to 60 votes without seriously giving in to some pork.

That was the vote to allows the filibuster to begin. Then it will still need 60 votes to pass.
Aint happening.

Not on its current trajectory. Let's see what happens in the deus ex machina category.

Anyone who thinks Trump's team hasn't gameplanned a scenario where all the DS All-Stars in the Senate band together to protect the mechanism that keeps them in DC is seriously underestimating the man and his administration.

So what happened to the house version that only needs simple majority?

They really think we are stupid.

The House doesn't have the filibuster/cloture. It's a simple majority rule.

It is still very unlikely that this ever passes unfortunately.

The motion to proceed isn't really a victory, it's a clear sign that we will never get to 60.

Yep, it will fail this time.....hopefully we can get it back on the floor again before DJT is out.....or under JD!

The RINOs who supported the extension are doing nothing more than gaining some positive narrative....yet they know it will not pass in the end!
All smoke and mirrors!

Most important bill EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unbelievable!

Where we get to see who is really for it, who is really against it and how committed to their stance they are.

Obamacare was far more impactful, and didn’t get 60 votes.

Is there a mechanism to make the Dems actually talking filibuster at this point? Or is it the wink and a nod filibuster where you just have to fold because the other side says so.

Maybe POTUS Trump gets heavily involved from his bully pulpit to address the nation a few nights each week regarding why the SAVE AMERICA act is vitally important. TOO many Americans do not even know this is going on!!

Obamacare was about money and control of the population.

SAVE act is existentially core to the nation.

In case y'all don't think long term, think all of the gerrymandering, mail-in fraud, stolen 2020 election, stolen Arizona elections and COUNTLESS others that have been proven, we're still at the beginning of the shenanigans if allowed to continue...

Mitch McConnell & Susan Collins voted yes to advance the Save America Act

Well crap. That's indicative that there's a poison pill buried somewhere in the legislation.

Collins I know was already leaning towards supporting it, but McTurtle? If he's actually on board, I have questions.....
