This has already been the case 95% of the time for the last half century.
If we can't get Republicans to block a reconciliation bill (which takes only 1 Senator to do), when how do we expect 41 of them to unite to block a regular bill?

That's right enough, and why I know I am right in stating that liberalism is not winning on merit, but is winning because it has no opposition. If the Republican electorate will not demand enforcement of their principle things by their representatives, there is nothing more that can be done.

Apparently not on the fillibuster issue.
I could be wrong.....though.
If I am, please let me know.

Wow....
I didn't think I'd see that here.
Thank you.

Donald Trump recieved the benefit of the doubt from 71,000,000 people (of which I was one).
Pretty impressive given the headwinds he faced.
