Mick Mulvaney: White House OK with Senate GOP going nuclear to end shutdown, but would rather Dems get on board
by Kyle Feldscher | Jan 21, 2018, 9:52 AM

White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said the White House would back Senate Republicans if they decide to do away with the 60-vote threshold to end debate on policy bills in order to reopen the government.

However, Mulvaney emphasized the more palatable option is for Senate Democrats to get on board with a continuing resolution to reopen the government and then deal with larger issues after that.

“We cannot open the government without Senate Democrat support. We don't have that, which is why we are where we are and one way around it would be to change the 50 votes,” he said on CNN's "State of the Union." “Another way would be some of those Democrats who say they want to work in a bipartisan fashion, they work with Republicans, but don't. Where are those Democrats that say one thing back home and do another in Washington?”

Great to see how hard Republicans are fighting for our Military and Safety at the Border. The Dems just want illegal immigrants to pour into our nation unchecked. If stalemate continues, Republicans should go to 51% (Nuclear Option) and vote on real, long term budget, no C.R.’s!

.@realDonaldTrump is right. We've voted to fund entire govt; Dems voted to shut it down. If Dems demand amnesty for illegal aliens as the price for reopening the govt & funding our military, we should just change the rules & fund the govt with 51 votes. End the #SchumerShutdown
