He maybe telling the truth about the RINOs and with our current Senate Rules we may not have the 60 vote threshold.

But if we were to revert back to the old rules, to the ones we had before the 1970s we'd be in.  

We have enough votes if we get rid of the Zombie Filibuster.

The Speaking Filibuster is simple majority after the Dem speak as to why they don't support common sense things like proving that you are a citizen and showing ID on the way in to vote.

Thune can change this tomorrow, but he may be on someone's payroll.

If we have a senate leader who works as hard as Trump we'd be good to go...


BTW, let me ask you... Do you think Chuck or Nancy would have been asked to do whatever they can to put through whatever legislation they can...

NO... They'd do anything ANYTHING at all to push their agenda.  If they win the House in November there will be impeachments everyday until the 2028 election.

We have a RINO problem but we also have a problem with the party leaders showing up with a knife at a gun fight.

Thune should make an effort to pass this bill that EVERYONE wants, both parties.  Do the peoples work.
