McConnell and Schumer Strike Deal For Senate Votes on Funding….
Posted on January 22, 2019   by sundance

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have come to a UniParty agreement to advance two simultaneous bills to end the government shutdown.

The first bill contains the Trump priority agenda; the second bill contains the Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell priority agenda.  The senate will get to vote on both bills individually.  It is possible, perhaps likely, both will fail. However, watch the defectors. If history is a guide, any defectors will come from the GOPe side of the equation.

But they seem to be following Pilosi's standard to pass them to see what's in them.

GOP has 53 votes in the Senate, Trump should get his wall money.

@jpsb

Heard/read/saw yesterday, each bill takes 60 votes to pass.  Fox/CNN opinions are, both bills will not reach 60, both will fail.  The search continues to find one that pleases both parties.  333cleo

My take is that Schumer and Mitch have reached a deal and will allow a vote. So closure (60 votes)
will not be an issue. I might be wrong but that my take.

It takes 60 if the GOP lets the Dems run the show, as they usually do. But it only take a majority to change them darn rules.

I'm not sure about that.  Why would these bills require a 60 vote majority?

The Senate consists of 53 GOP, 45 DEMS and 2 IN...doesn't necessarily mean that ALL 53 GOP will vote the same way.  They have a terrible past track record.  Who knows which way the RINO's will vote.  Not at all confident in this majority.

Need 60 votes for cloture.
