Republican Senate must get rid of 60 vote NOW! It is killing the R Party, allows 8 Dems to control country. 200 Bills sit in Senate. A JOKE!

The very outdated filibuster rule must go. Budget reconciliation is killing R's in Senate. Mitch M, go to 51 Votes NOW and WIN. IT'S TIME!

Republicans in the Senate will NEVER win if they don't go to a 51 vote majority NOW. They look like fools and are just wasting time......

....8 Dems totally control the U.S. Senate. Many great Republican bills will never pass, like Kate's Law and complete Healthcare. Get smart!

If the Senate Democrats ever got the chance, they would switch to a 51 majority vote in first minute. They are laughing at R's. MAKE CHANGE!

He didn't even know what was in the healthcare bill. Doesn't care either. All he wanted was a "win".

Your man Harry Reid broke the mold concerning this topic. Did you ever call him dumbass also?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

Trump couldn't even get to 50. He's a weak leader with no idea what's in the bills he supports, and therefore isn't worth a frick in terms of whipping votes.

such a pussy

The cry-baby if he could, he'd ask for a do over, like another bankruptcy. Born with a gold spoon, a hard on, bad hair, and nothing's changed. Alpha bit's at best.

Irrelevant. If Dems had control of the Senate and needed to change the rules to pass a pet bill, it would have already happened.

Trump's one qualification was the ability to make tough deals. Clearly, he sucks at that. So what does our president actually do when he's not making deals?

Which chapter of 'The Art of the Deal' focuses on whining on twitter until you can change the rules because you can't win otherwise?

Of course it's relevant. Trump wants it so you want it. If it was the other way around you would not.

At some point the Dems will be in control again. Then they get to put this garbage law right back in place.

What makes you think they wouldn't just end the 60 vote rule anyway? The excuse will be "Republicans did it for their Supreme Court nominee, blah blah blah."
