What makes you think they wouldn't just end the 60 vote rule anyway?
They might be that dumb and arrogant, but they don't want to risk giving a future GOP majority the ability to enact legislation with a simple majority.

Watch him still be defended by the poor souls that still believe in him.

It almost seems like Trump had no idea how government worked.

This would be wildly irresponsible.
If there is one thing we know about this country, it's that political tides sway back and fourth. We can be certain that the Dems will have control again at some point in the future, and I don't want to see what they do with this rule in place.
Very short sighted proposal

This is so intellectually dishonest.
How about you consider and explain exactly what he couldn't get 50 votes on.
What were the bills Republicans couldn't agree on?
HALF-MEASURED RECONCILIATION BILLS.
Of course they're not going to come to an agreement on Obamacare Lite when they all want a full new bill that completely repeals and replaces.
Stop being so dishonest.

He didn't even know what was in the healthcare bill. Doesn't care either. All he wanted was a "win".
Toddy doesn't even know what he thinks until Democrats take a position and he's the very definition of pure "rah team" by any means necessary scum

Well Republicans can't agree on what a full repeal and replace bill would be either so....

How the frick would you know? They haven't presented one because it's a waste of time.
Seriously think, why would the Reps spend days or weeks in committee debating and negotiating a full new bill to come to consensus on only to pass it in the House and then have it be shut down by filibuster in the Senate?
Why would they waste that time?
Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Tom Price, and even others have full new bill proposals done and sitting on their desks collecting dust.
But why in the world would they waste time when it's a 100% certain act of futility to do so?
Of course they can't come to agreement on half-measured Reconciliation bills that don't actually repeal or replace Obamacare.
You Libs are just beyond dishonest about what's really going on here.

Its almost as if he learned about this rule yesterday.

Based on reality your claim dems would do it are false.
Collins of maine-r and walker mass-r and a couple of other gops now and then were able to demand changes to aca to get to 60.
WV, MN and Mass were without senators in chamber for first year obama.
57 or 58 required gop participation.
Reid did not reduce 60 to 51 to get aca done.

Irrelevant. If Dems had control of the Senate and needed to change the rules to pass a pet bill, it would have already happened.
Bingo.
This is why we call them "Republicant's"
