If Republicans are going to pass great future legislation in the Senate, they must immediately go to a 51 vote majority, not senseless 60...

...Even though parts of healthcare could pass at 51, some really good things need 60. So many great future bills & budgets need 60 votes....

(8,982 posts)Even GOP Senators realize that Trump could care less about the content of legislation he wishes to sign. His incurious nature, social ineptness, laziness, and inability to focus are liabilities that render him ineffective. Undecided legislators are not likely to be won over by a so-called leader who is ignorant beyond belief when it comes to policy matters. Ironically, this Trump characteristic is arguably his "best" since it is self-defeating and precludes advancing a regressive agenda that ordinarily would be a piece of cake for a political party that occupies the White House and controls both house of Congress.

(2,787 posts)If repukes would've gotten across 50 votes on any plan that could be filibustered. Trump would've been shouting even louder to end the filibuster. Trump screwed up the only strategy where repukes could've blamed Democrats for their failure to repeal the bill.
