So, after hearing Johnson's words on not bringing ACA to the floor for a vote

[bluestarone]

Can these Democrats change their vote to NO?

[Walleye]

1. They haven't actually voted on the bill yet. Just the cloture.

[bluestarone]

3. Yea i got that, but

Are their votes needed to pass?

[MarineCombatEngineer]

4. Correct me if I'm wrong,

but after the Cloture vote, doesn't it require a simple majority to pass the bill?

[FoxNewsSucks]

10. I think that's correct. And it's as meaningless now as it was last night

republicons got what they wanted, and no longer have to hide the fact that they are screwing us or how they plan to do it here.

[bluestarone]

13. Yea i think just a majority vote, BUT

There were some rethugs that really want that EPSTEIN file released as well. Maybe they could F UP the plans to pass this? I know these are Senate Rethugs but does the house have to pass this as well?

[MarineCombatEngineer]

14. If the bill is passed in the Senate, which it probably will, because it differs from the House bill,

it has to go back to the House for reconciliation and we all know how that's going to end up.

[bluestarone]

15. I'm sure that Adelita will be sworn in first then

Wonder if the rethugs that want the Epstein file released, help could stop the passage?

[MarineCombatEngineer]

17. Hmmm, that's a good question.

One that I, unfortunately, don't have the answer to.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

2. Good question,

wouldn't Thune have to bring it to the floor for a revote?
If that's the case, then it ain't going to happen.
The repigs got what they wanted, they're not going to risk a reversal of this cave in.

[bluestarone]

5. Still have to vote on this, i think?

[yaesu]

6. Maybe the 10 corporate dems were getting a lot of pressure from their corporate puppet masters who were scared to death

that the shutdown would hurt their holiday price gouging not to mention wall street banksters so I'm sure they don't care that millions will lose their healthcare.

[orangecrush]

16. The victories Tuesday

In solid red areas scared the shit out of them

[Autumn]

7. That was the plan all along.

[C_U_L8R]

8. D'oh.

[Turbineguy]

9. They are putting the turd in the voters' pockets

You wanna get screwed? Vote republican.

[RockRaven]

11. And people wonder why indie/Dem turnout is low even when people loudly hate Repugs...

[NotHardly]

12. I'm old enough to remember when politicians representative the public.
